Replacing engine without removing the tranny?

I remove the distributer ( and fan shroud bolts if so equiped ) first then remove the trans cross member and go after those upper bell housing bolts with unversal and long extensions. Then I put the trans cross member back ( temporary, just bolts through holes).
Then I put a tie down strap around the torsion bars to cradle the front of the trans. Out with the engine and roll the vehicle away If I need to.
