You dont need to support the engine but the car needs to be fairly high to get the box from under the car. I leave the flex coupling on the box then wire the drive shaft end up out of the way then undo the two 13mm bolts holding the cross member to the body, leaving it and the mount on the tranny. Remove the clutch slave, wire it up out of the way without breaking into the hydraulics and you wont have to bleed the system later I coulda learned that sooner
An impact wrench is really your friend when undoing the flex coupling bolts.
