Everything will fit, but the dipstick will be on the driver's side and the tube gets in the way of the stock exhaust manifold.

The bellhousing bolts are on the bellhousing. (okay, okay, that's the back of the engine block)

There pretty hard to get at. I found it easier to pull the motor and transmission
at the same time.

I've done it both ways. Pulling the engine alone is slightly easier than maneuvering the engine/transmission (mostly an issue with the reach of the typical engine hoist and our long-nosed cars, and getting a tilt sling to work {back of the tilt sling hits the cowl}). Unbolting what you need to unbolt is easier pulling engine/trans together.
