<VV> clutch job: remove the drivetrain the conventional way or engine only?

[tkalp at cox.net]

On LMs I always remove the engine only if I can get by with it.  I have 
a transmission jack with an adapter to the Corvair oil pan and use guide 
pins (headless bolts) to remove and replace the engine and protect the 
diff. snout. If you need more info on the guide pins let me know.

You could try one each way and report back <G>.
