Gosh. It was lots easier for me when I did this with A/C and alternator dismounted. It was more than enough trouble even then. I'd hate to try it like you did. So, now that you can say you did it, are you ever going to do it that way again (even if not "soon")?

It's not _quite_ as intimidating if you simply dismount the alternator and A/C compressor. You have to disconnect the shock mount connecting the transmission to the wheel well (not the strut, but a separate item for the tranmission itself) and the cooling hoses for the A/T, and the kickdown cable to the throttle mechanism, but otherwise it's pretty much like a 5-speed. I'd personally recommend pulling the engine and transmission together. Leaving the tranny in the car seems like a really bad choice to me. But I'm not you.
