you can let the engine hang.. its not goin anywhere.. the last 18 tranmission removals i did,, it just sits there.
try letting the engine down,,, IF you have the engine bolted down on the mounts.
also triple check for a hidden bolt. it happens to the best of us.
Let us know how it goes.

Make sure you got the very top bolt. It wasn't on the old 4L60Es. What I did was support the oil pan and support the transmission pan with jacks so there is no vertical force on the pins. Then I pryed in the starter housing and was able to put the tip of a flat head screwdriver in near the pin. Then I pryed a little bit in the drain hole at the bottom middle of the bellhousing and got a screwdriver shoved in the other side near that pin. Then I gently tapped them with a hammer alternating until the pins came loose. Like they all said, don't go too nuts or the bellhousing could crack. Good luck, and don't break your wiper cowl like I did
