I'm currently in the process of pulling a B18 with an automatic tranny out of a 1990 Integra GS for a swap into my EG hatch. My question is...:
The car is on jack stands in my own garage with a simple tool box on hand. I already have handled the wiring harnesses, hoses, wires, etc from the engine, and all is left is to pull the axles out and remove the mounts and lift the engine out. Now I'm curious about how to pull the engine out, is it easier to pull just the engine out through the top and get the tranny afterwards, or pull both engine and tranny out together? I am aware that I have to disconnect the torque converter from the engine with 8 bolts after removing the starter, which is no problem for me to handle. I should be pulling the engine out next weekend or the next week when I finish school with a friend to give a hand, so it would be great if I can get some opinions as soon as possible.
Thanks.

The only option is to lift it out, but either engine only or both engine and tranny. Oh and this might help, the tranny is garbage, so I'm not reusing it, and the car will be scrapped when I'm done with it.
