When i pulled my motor, I just had my block sitting on a 2x4 on my jack, and my tranny on my tranny jack strapped down.. I just lowered them both and slide them from under the car... IMO for a DIY, its alot easyier then goin out the top....

You dont need to drop the subframe, remove the t case completly and dont forget to first seperate the TOB so when you have the engine/transmission out of the car it will just seperate easily. I have done it now 3 times and its not hard at all. Drop it from the bottom.

in my eyes its not that much work to remove the sub-frame.... I've pulled the sub frame twice to do the clutch&tcase... it made it much easier ....
but if you say it can be pulled from the top, how is it easier to go out the bottom???

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:
