how to drop an engine and tranny?
so is there any good or easy way to remove those? should i pull it all together or unbolt them and pull them one at a time?
im striping down my 78 cordoba and we can asume that everything in the engine bay is gone.

Drop from the bottom or pull out through the top? I have pulled many engines and trannys out from the top without problems. Just double check that everything is disconnected!

Asuming you don't have a bridge?
Think it's easier (read: lighter) to remove the engine and tranny separately if it concerns an automatic tranny.

A bridge is something to drive over to get to the other side.

Ive put them in that way, keep in mind you have to pull the upper control arms loose trans mount exhaust speedo cable shifter or linkage all the connections under the hood and be able to support the engine and trans and lift the car. I used my cherry picker, the front of my rotisserie
