remove gearstick from box & block off output shaft/nozzle
front of car on jack stands, remove gearbox cross member
remove box & engine connected - easier without top radiator support but with chains/hook at right spot the angle-of-removal can be varied as engine lifts up out of car.
helps if you have an idiot willing to stand on gearbox to increase slant 
much easier to do any bellhousing bolts and clutch alignment when out of car.
VW's are the easiest, undo about 8 bolts, disconnect a few wires, disconnect axles, disconnect fuel line and gearbox shifter rod - support engine on brocks, lift car off engine (2-3 adults required). With a bit of practice, this can take a little as 15 minutes.
This is often a faster way of changing the spark plugs instead of remove them with engine in situ.
