Congrats on the drop, but you may yet have to drop the transmission. If you thought taking the engine out was tough, getting it back in with the transmission in the car is a bear. I have done a few drops and one time left the transmission in. My logic was that that way I didn’t have to deal with the CV joints. It worked out great up until the point that I could not properly align the engine with the transmission. Ultimately, I had to drop the transmission, mate them together, and install them that way.
If on the tail end of the project you cannot align the engine, it is not too much extra work to drop the transmission and then button everything up. Hopefully, you will beat the odds!
