I'll soon be pulling the 5.0/AOD from my '93 ragtop. Is there enough room in the engine bay to pull the motor/trans combo together or would I be better off dropping the AOD from the bottom first and then pulling the motor?

wonder how much it would cost to ship you a pair

There are some factors at play that will dictate which way you go.
I generally pull engine and trans together, I jack the back of the car up as I raise the engine out.
