If the intake wasn't there is it much easier?

I got mine from the top with the intake still on when I did my converter swap. Wasn't easy, but was do able.

Well the motor is coming out any!!! Should I just remove it?

Oh man - if the motor is coming out too it would be easiest to just take everything out as one piece, then you can separate the engine and tranny outside the truck. Doh!

You could do one of two things at this point: remove the intake and get the last bolt, or put a couple of the bolts back in and pull the whole thing as one piece. I just pulled the engine/tranny/transfer case as one unit on Monday, I would recommend removing the transfer case, but the engine and tranny should be pretty easy to get out together.

Crap! will it still work without having the truck lifted or jacked up at all??

Yep, I had the front of the truck almost resting on the spindles and there was just enough room to pull it all.
