3 ways yes....but which is easiest? !

If you really just need the transmission, just drop the transmission. Especially if you have headers.

Out the top with the engine means pulling the hood usually, takes a good hoist and the ability to tilt the engine to a pretty extreme angle. Which also means draining everything. And of course if you have headers it means pulling those first, with all the fun that entails entirely separate from the engine removal.

Out the bottom with the K frame is nice, the headers can stay in place, no crazy engine angles, no scrapping the tail of the transmission on the header panel etc. But it also usually means pulling the bumper and hanging the whole front of the car from some kind of lifting device that you either have to buy or make. And it requires the engine, transmission and K to be on some kind of dolly. And involves pulling the torsion bars and separating the suspension somewhere (balljoint, UCA, wherever) which means checking the alignment again later.

Out the bottom with the whole assembly is the nicest in my opinion, less mess, less stress. But you have to remove a bunch of stuff and it requires specialized stuff to make it easy. So if you really just need the transmission out, I'd just pull it. Now, if you need to do work under the car while the trans is out then pulling the engine may be easiest in the long run as you won't have to work around it. Or if you're installing a new bellhousing or hydraulic clutch. That whole alignment and test fitting process is way easier when you're not under the car.
