You do NOT need to drop the subframe...Pull the t-case, obviously drop the bar with the tranny motor mount on it, then hoist the motor down easily onto something soft. When motor and tranny are on the ground, jack/hoist the front of the car up high enough to get the motor out from the bottom. It's easy.
I dropped mine on a creeper to slide it out, basically ruined the creeper:

your sayin remove tcase and pull the trans\motor as one or separate the motor and pull it by itself???

Ive always pulled it out of the top, its easy. You can keep the whole motor in tact, obviously remove everything tho, wiring harness, oil and coolant lines, shifter cables ect... pull it out at an angle and it will come straight up.

so which is easier to do,
1: pull out from top with hoist, do you remove the transfer case or does the whole assembly comes out with it at an angle
or
2: pull the transfer case and drop below and pull from under the car, how easy is the transfer case taken off,
thanks

Ive never taken it from the bottom because I dont have a lift, and you have to lift the car pretty high if your going from the bottom Just pullout the cv axles unbolt the trasfer case and seperate it and let it sit there. Then pull the motor from the top, you have to pull the hood off obviously.

ok.... so i pulled the sub-frame (once you remove the axles its only a few more steps to pull the sub frame + it gives you so much room... marking the steering shaft obviously), tcase, intake manifold ,front and rear mount , engine harness, separated the TOB, IC piping , ect........... the only thing holding the motor now is the timing mount & trans mount... im pulling it out the top... heres my plan of attack - lower the trans side a bit to remove the mount & hook up one lead from my hoist , and put some pressure on it .. then hook up the other lead to the timing side of my motor/remove mount. so the whole thing sits at a small slant , the out the top she comes.... i'll be sure to let you know how it goes, i had to stop for the day due to rain....boooo!!! any hints let my know... thanks guys....

looks like your way took you a while...I can pull my whole motor out intact in less than 2 hours and thats taking my time and drinking some beer.
There is absolutely no need to drop the subframe. I always leave the intake manifold on as well.

you can pull the motor and tranny out no problem. check out these pics. I left transfercase in the engine bay and pulled the motor and tranny out from top. I left trans connected to motor. The tob release pissed me off last time so i figured id do it out of the car this time. When you pull the motor/tranny up just angle the trans downa nd you wont have a problem.
