Leave the engine in the car and pull the transmission. You need to do this for the clutch anyway. You can also pull the oil pan with the engine in the chassis as well.
I was thinking of going this way but I have heard getting the oil pan sealed properly inside of the car is a PITA. plus pulling the engine will allow me to clean up the engine bay and paint the firewall.
That's what I did when he told me that, and he quoted me $200-300 just for the clutch kit! I told him he was off his rocker. All of the parts that I need can be had for less than $250 including the seals and gaskets.
