Off set the brackets and watch your distributer. You could crack the cap or even the distributer itself. Theres a metal ground band attached to the back of the block as well, remember that you have to unhook that.

You said you took out all of the motor to tranny bolts. Did you slide the tranny back away from the motor before you started trying to pull it out?
