I'm with Kooky on this one. I did it both ways on 2 consecutive '67 Cutlasses; first car I pulled the engine and trans together, second car I dropped the trans first and then pulled the engine. It's only another 5-10 minutes under the car to separate the torque converter and bellhousing bolts, and it makes pulling and installing the engine SOOO much easier, IMHO.
Either way works fine, though - so it's just a personal preference. I agree with all the suggestions to 1) Take LOTS of pictures, 2) label EVERYTHING, and 3) get a helper. Even if it's not a wrench-turner, just having a significant other around who doesn't mind writing labels for the parts as they get put in ziploc bags, or handing you a rag when you need it can make the job seem a lot smoother.
