I would pull the engine and tranny while they're bolted together, especially on an open driveline bigbolt. Much easier to get the tranny stabbed back into the clutch with the engine out of the truck. You would of course have to disconnect the u-joint at the rear of the transmission and remove the top cover and shifter of the tranny. Definitely remove the radiator, and possibly the radiator support.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
