Thanks guys. I will use some of this advice. I will go up and through the engine bay. I did talk to a guy yesterday who did the whole subframe/tranny drop method. But he had a lift and that makes it much easier. I am hoping to have some time this weekend to make some progress on yanking this thing. Will take pics and post back.
