The pull isn't the bad part. The stab back in is when it gets tougher. Do just the engine and it's shades easier IMO. You have to drop the starter, unbolt the torque convertor, pull the engine mount bolts and then unbolt the bell housing from the engine. After the coolant hoses, pwr steering hoses, wire harness, throttle connection, cruise control and fuel line are removed it lifts right out.
