8/16/24: I removed he rest of the bolts connecting the engine to the transmission, I removed the ground straps from the engine as well. once those were removed I jacked up the engine and transmission enough to move around but the engine did not break free from the transmission. I was not able to remove the engine.
OF NOTE: there is 6 bolts between the engine and trans (1 is long, 5 normal, and 2 nuts), the long one on top is on the driver's side by in the starter, the rest are to be the same length. there is one bolt that requires the removal of the starter above, or the transmission cooler lines below to access it. To be able to take the engine out make sure you take out the bolts in the engine mounts under the car. the nuts on the bottom are really hard to get at and require a lot of open thinking to get the right position on them to get them out.
8/17/24: kept trying multiple thigs to remove the engine but had no luck. I tried chisels in the seam between the engine and the bell housing but no luck. Later my dad went out to work on it while I was napping and he succeeded in pulling the engine. he said he hammered a screwdriver in between the bell housing and the engine, I am not sure why my own methods did nothing. to mount the engine on the engine stand we need the right bolts ant the right length, the bolts we had were not long enough to go through the engine and the stand mounts. I took a trip to home depot but they only had one bolt that was the correct type an length, I will have to go to a hardware store on Monday to get the rest of the needed bolts.
