O.K so Iv'e swapped out countless motors in and out of my 91 and always left the trans. in,however this time Iv'e decided to replace my T-5. Is It a pain to do them together (motor bolted to the trans.) as one unit? Should I do one at a time? If so witch one first?

I have removed and replaced the engine and trans as a unit, and I think that it is the best plan. The only problem is getting the car jacked up high enough to clear the shifter when you put the engine and trans back in.

that is just rediculous to leave the trans in the car dude. next time, remove the 6 extra bolts that are EASY to get to and remove as a combo.
