first drop the anti roll bar, undo linkage clutch cable etc, engine brace, undo gearbox mounts, lower gearbox, undo 3 top bolts (19mm) and then bottom bolts (3x 15mm and 3x 19mm) and lift her out

I heard the engine had to come out to do this due to lack of space with this particular engine ?

I heard that you couldn't get one out (engine and box) through the top, it was a lie. I also heard you couldn't get the engine out with the box in, which was a lie too...
It'll take a bit of wiggling, but it's not too bad.
Just remember to support the engine when you undo the gearbox mounts, as it will only be held in with one mount
