usually its easier to remove with trans, allows workin on the trans too, leave the intake/exhaust manifolds with the engine, and wrap the chains around them.(@ least thats what i do).
drain fluids, take out mounts, take out trans x-member, driveshaft, clutch lines if manual or fluid lines if automatic, and any other misc stuffs, also have a helper.

Re: (TheOne)
if u got a cherry picker its easier to take the trans with the engine...
if u need to do transmission work, it is 10x easier to remove it from the engine with the engine already out of the car.. as getting to the bellhousing bolts is easy as pie

Take your time...If your not wrapping the motor, make sure when you mount the chains, that you mount them as close to the engine as possible to avoid bending and snapping the bolt.
