Default JY engine Pull thoughts?

I am going to pull my donor engine from the grave yard this weekend. It is a 2x4 with flat front tires. Would it be eaiser to pull engine and tranny together or just the engine alone? I will be using an old wrecker that will to the hard lifting. I'm leaning towards just engine but figured I would see what you guys thought.

probably pulling them both will be easier then you dont have to worry about getting the trans seperated which can be a pain some times.

Getting those top two bellhousing bolts out is a royal pain. I would pull both at once then separate the two.

I may do that. I'm actually at the point to pull the engine other than bell housing bolts/Torque converter bolts and motor mounts. Gonna get it out of there tomorrow. I will have to replace freeze plugs on it but not a big deal. will just see if I can get those top to tomorrow. I pulled my original engine easy but had the heads of and those top 2 bolts were alot easier.
