97 engin swap

I pulled the engine out from the top. Is it easier to drop the tranny out the bottom (via sub frame) or continue and remove from the top?

Also, any foreseeable problems with going back in with a 96 motor and tranny?

I think dropping it out the bottom is the easier way. As long as the 96 engine has the roller rocker arms, they are almost identical. If the 96 engine has ball and pivot rockers, they are not the same and will require a lot of mods to make it work. The trans should be the same, no problem.
