I am removing my manual tranny and am wondering why the manual tells me to take off rear motor mount and intake manifold bracket. Is this really necessary?

It has been a while since I dropped just the transmission, but removing the rear mount and front mount (with the transmission supported), then the trans mount allows the engine transmission to pivot down on the passenger side to give you room to slide the transmission off the engine.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

The top right portion goes to the body mount (on the car). The far left bolts go all the way through and into the transmission but the upper hole is into a engine "tab" that jets out and fits into this mount.
So technically speaking I think it's the 3 bolts from the bottom that are trans only. Hope this helps.

You need to remove the top bolt in the dogbone. This will allow the engine to go low enough while keeping the engine safely hanging by the engine mount. Keep a jack under the oil pan to control the angle of drop on the end of the motor and transmission. This will allow you to slide the trans off and under the frame rail of the car.

Yep, put a jack and some wood under it and let the engine drop more on the passenger side. I know, it's a PITA, let it down until you can get room. Be sure to not hit anything or extend a wire.
If this is a H22 it's a huge PITA. Last time I Just scratched the hell out of the area of your brake lines trying to lift it up there past the trans shaft.
