I have pulled the engine and tranny at the same time...you just check around to see what is attached to the car, un hook it, then take your motor mounts loose and your exauhst.. there is no need to pull the bumper.. my bumper is still attached...the bumper has nothing to do with getting the engine and tranny out...and pulling them together is much easier than pulling them seperate. It will take two people...one to hoist, and the other as a spotter...I found it useful to use a Jack, very carefully under the tranny as my husband was hoisting the engine out... Good Luck with your car :) It wont be too bad.
