Marginally.. It might be easier to drop the engine out of a 911.
But that's not something anybody does all to often.

At the same time you can take the tranny off a Cayman with engine still in the car.
That makes a clutch job easier (again, not something that anybody does regulary)

Most things can be done with the engine in the car. there are access panels and there is room.
Annoying things, Like coolant distribution pipe..
Can be done by just dropping the engine at the front for 5-6 inches..

It's all doable. Just need to approach things in the right order and from the right angle. bit of savoir faire..
