First time motor pull

When I pulled the motor out of my Dart this fall I pulled the transmission first. Then yanked the motor out after. I had the car on the lift at work and find it to be much easier to handle with out the tranny hanging off the back. No steep angle to get it out no need to remove the hood. When it goes back together I'm going to set the motor back in on the mounts run it up and bolt the tranny in from underneath.
