Take your pick.

I recently pulled the motor out of my T/A from the top, and it's the way I always do it.

Top is pretty easy. Before you pull it did you make sure it isn't just a cracked flexplate or something else easy?

Pulled the motor out the top a few months ago. No worse than any other car. Except of course removing the miles of wiring and tubing.

I'll have to agree pretty simple and easy. Minus the miles of wiring
