Motor Swap Questions

How hard will it be to pull the LO3 engine out of my RS? I don't have much experience with this kind of work but I know the mechanics of how it works. I plan on rebuilding it an returning it to its place.
I'm mostly worried about the top bolt on the tranny. Whats the access down there like?
And last minute advice.

That's one of the 2 easiest bolts to get to.

You have to remove the distributor anyway. Go ahead and pull it. Once it's out of the way, you can reach down from above with a box-end 9/16" wrench and get to both of the top bolts with near zero effort.
