After reviewing the engine removal threads I still have a couple questions.

Yup I agree with Al. I always pull transmission and engine as one. MUCH easier to disconnect the two and reconnect them out of the car. It's just not THAT much more work.
Ok, its been 35 years since I had that 4 speed off, but I can do that. Separate them while on the cherry picker before putting the engine on a stand?

What to disconnect the clutch linkage? Just the torque rod to clutch fork, or does the torque shaft have to come off?
