Years ago I have done it both ways.
My first GS, I took the motor out leaving the gearbox in.
Second one, the whole lump.
It's too long ago to remember if one was better than the other.
The engines in my 2 modified 2CVs tend to get handled with the gearbox attached.
They come out before each Raid, to check, straighten, strengthen the chassis, and tidy things up a bit.
I haven't separated the boxes off for quite a while, but one will have to soon as 3rd synchro is gone.
One of these years we'll get another Raid.......
