There isn't as much room with a 460 to swing around, but I got mine out with the C6 still attached. I removed the front clip to do it though. Make sure your engine hoist will go high enough to clear the radiator if you choose not to dismantle the front end.

Do trannies and engines generally come out easier all as one piece? I'm interested in this topic too because I need to get a 351W and an FMX out.
Better done all at once, or is seperate generally the same?

I'm considering pulling the front clip because everything needs to get painted, and I wouldn't mind doing a frame-off resto while I'm at it.
It'd be sweet to see all the lines and the frame to get a hold on what kind of condition everything is in with nothing on the frame but lugs and rubber.
Thanks for the advice, front clip is coming off.
