From the top is likely the way the workshop manual sais tho, the st185 gt-four workshop manual lifts them in and out at an angle tho it's much handier to use the crane to lift the car and drop it onto it

I've just sat the car on ramps and I can simply lower the engine and box into a skid and slide it out under the front of the car.
No messing about trying to angle anything. You don't have to take the bonnet off either.
Done it on every car I have dropped the engine out of. It just makes so much sense to drop things out the bottom!

Yeah, still turns fine, just needs an overhaul and it'll be sweet again.
Bought in Feb 2000, drove for 18months (ish) then a old blind fella took the front corner off it. Got the damage fixed and been stockpiling parts ever since. Always been on the back burner. Got it with 80k on the clock and that's up to around 115k or thereabouts. Think I've already stated that it's not the best or most original out there but it is mine

No she didn't have one at the time no one was interested in a standard car.......She won't be tinkered with unless parts need replacing and that will only be to tweak what she has.
