Question Out the top or out the bottom???

How do I need to go about an engine swap on a 1997 Seabring LXI?... I mean the real question that I have is will the body of the car lift away from the engine or will the V-6 fit out the bottom between the strut towers? Half of the people I have asked about it say that if I pull four bolts and the wireing harness that the body will simply lift away, leaving the engine and the front uni-body clip on the ground. The other half say that the engine will pull right out of the top the same as a rear wheel drive Chevrolet 350 would. So which is the correct or shud I say the best way to go about pulling the motor and if anyone has any helpful hints they would be much apprechiated since I will be doing most of this project with a masive amount of lifting points, comealongs, chain hoists and myself.

Chrysler recommends dropping the engine out the bottom with the subframe, but people have pulled it out the top as well. Go with what you feel most comfortable with.
