996 C4S engine removal

[nismopowered]

Hello guys,
First post and I have been trying to get some advise. I see lots of info about pulling the engine in a 996 with the trans. I need to pull the engine in the C4S tiptronic. Is it still advisable to pull the engine with the trans with the all wheel drive and tiptronic setup if my only goal is engine replacement? thanks for any input. I search and didn't see anything specific to a C4S tiptronic set up.

With a Tip, it is generally advised to pull them together and then separate them as it saves a lot of time.

But is that still the best/easiest way taking into account the all wheel drive set up?

The front driveshaft is 2 or 4 bolts.

So. After taking out a huge mass of metals referred to as an engine I see your point. 3 bolts for the front driveline and that was that. Thanks for the input. Now just waiting for the new engine to just jump right in all by itself!
