The engine bay is big enough to remove the two units together, but you can just drop the trans if you can the car up high enough, like on a lift.

I have never worked on one, but you could always just try to removed the transmission. If it works great if not...

I recently replaced a flex disk and noticed that the trans is in there tight, can you back it up enough to get the input shaft out.

I just put a ring gear in mine and it is no problem pulling the tranny out by itself, alittle tight, but not a problem with the right tools.
