Correct, you don't. But, I have done it both ways. Today, without removing the tranny & X-fer case. Lots-o-swear words used!
I think that it makes accessing some of the bolts a lot easier if you just yank the tranny & x-fer case.
Besides, they're going to be all grimey. Why not clean 'em up so it's not such a mess the next time you have to work on it. :wink:

Re: engine removal
Ive Done it Twice it took me 2 hours to remove it.
Installing it is alot more work
you just have to take off the Fan and Fan shroud Cover the Radiator with a Piece of Cardboard
Remove the Torque Convertor bolts From the Flywheel BEFORE YOU REMOVE INTAKE because you will have to turn over the engine by hand to get at all the bolts and you dont want to lose the position of the Distributor
Along with removing starter
you will also have to remove the bolts on the Trans mount so it can move around a little bit
Remove the intake so you can reach the Top Back Tranny Bolts Taking note Where Distributor is located.
Remove Downpipe and motor mounts
Remove Wires and hoses
Then you should be ready to go..
Thats about it

Re: engine removal
On my GT my only option is to remove everything at once. When I put the long tube headers on they wouldn't go in with the tranny in place so I pulled it and bolted it up along with the headers. Now it all goes in and comes out in one piece. Seems to work out well.
