You might be able to pull the engine, y-pipe and transmission as a a unit, then take off the y-pipe and lay her on the floor to separate engine/trans.
I've done it with a 2.9/auto in an 87 Ranger. Had to pull the rad, waterpump, fan and harm balancer in the truck, and she was tight coming out, but she came.
Also, once the engine/trans is out, may want to hammer down the firewall/floorpan seam and seal it up with body seem feeler to gain some extra clearance for future endeavours (putting the engine back in) and to cover any sharp edges created to protect your hands reaching in around there.
