Hy rust bucket 53, it's better to ask questions if you can, computer forums were not available when I started in this hobby forty five years ago. Firstly you cannot remove the bellhousing from the engine until the transmission, clutch, and flywheel are removed, there are bolts retaining the bellhousing behind the flywheel. Some advocate for the front end sheetmetal removal, but it is not necessary. I would remove the transmission, and then remove the engine alone. The minimum you must remove is the radiator before you attempt to remove the engine. I hope that helps.
