do i have to drop the lt1 from the bottom in my 1996 camaro? if not which way is better/easier to do?

out the bottom with the transmission still attached and just unbolting the k-member is usually a really nice way to go in an f-body.

they're both about the same amount of work in the end, i guess.. take your pick

Just about every swap that I have seen, they have dropped it from the bottom. I believe that's the easiest way on the 4th gen due to the cowl. I dropped mine from the bottom this past summer and it was a relatively smooth process.

I've done many removals always out the bottom. Decided to try it once out the top. Notice I only said once.

Same, and made a huge mess doing it out the top. Never again.

If you need a step by step guide to pulling engine from the bottom, pm me with your e-mail address and I'll send it along to you.

I've done both... If doing by yourself without an lift I vote top.. then you dont have to mess w k member.. I had rad and condensor out im sure that made it Much easier

honestly id just drop it out the bottom did it last summer just 6 sub frame bolts, strut towers, wires, steering, brake lines only 2, ac condesor, and tranny mount and driveshaft. oh and always remember to drain anti freeze lol.

Did it once from top too it was too much of a mess...IMO it was easier and faster from bottom but to each his own... Only thing that bothered me was the long pointy bumper when i did it from top lol
