How to pull engine wink

Does anyone know how to remove the engine on a 4th gen, I mean, is it suppose to come out from the bottom or the top? I was looking at it today and it looks like it would be very easy to pull it out from the front if I just cut the ENTIRE front off of the car, you know, pulled the bumper cover and all the lights and grinded off all the pinch welds for the entire core support and then just pulled the engine and tranny out from the front, do you guys think it would be a bad idea to pull the motor and tranny out from the front instead of the top or bottom? I don't think it would be too hard to weld everything back togethor afterwards, what do you guys think? Is this the way it's suppose to come out?

Haynes or Chilton manual is your friend.
No I think it is a bad idea to do all that just to pull the engine. It should come out the bottom IIRC but it comes out the top just fine.

No, do it that way. Much quicker.

Well you did......... I'm very impressed actually....... Yeah, I was just messin' with you guys, I've pulled a few of these, or should I say 'dropped'. I crashed my car (bordeline totalled it) awhile back, so I had to cut out the entire radiator core anyways, so obviously it's a little easier to just pull the motor out from the front if the entire front of the car is gone. It's 5:06 am here, I'm tired, and a little drunk still, I pulled an all-nighter to get this down, vowed to not go to sleep until it was out, here's some pics.......enjoy........
