getting in lined up on the way back in would be tricky, though as I would only have forward/reverse adjustment by moving the truck. I figure a set of wheel dollys would solve that problem though...
If you have the height then that would be easier than pulling the core support. If it's a manual trans, you should drop the trans out and remove the clutch and pressure plate before trying to pull it out the top. I need to clear the parts out of my shop so I can use the beam again.
