Yes, pull the starter and the radiator to be safe. When you hook up to the engine, grab it close to the intake so you won't have to lift it as high to clear the core support area. It's much easier to assemble the transmission to engine out of the car and reinstall than trying to line the engine up with a manual trans still in the car.
