if you pull the rad and have an engine hoist, you can install with trans in place. The hood has a setting to allow it to open to a full 90 degrees.
I’ve done it both ways but found it easier to install engine trans together. But only if you have help to guide it. in, it will have to come in on a steep angle and assistance is needed to guide it in.
if you’re doing this on your own, engine only is easier
