I have a 56 and have pulled the engine for a rebuild and I pulled the engine and tranny as one. Get everything out of the engine compartment including the radiator. Use an engine crane with a leveler (it makes the job much easier). Unhook the shift linkage under the car. I removed the rear universal joint then the tranny cross member and unbolted the mounts and she came right out as one large unit. The engine leveler helped guide it out without hitting anything. By the way don't forget to jack the front of car up.
