That's the gist of it.   It will clear as long as the muffler tin
comes down with the engine.

When the engine is down a few inches, double check you have removed
all cooling lines, electrical wires, fuel lines etc.  You don't want
to stress any lines that you neglected to disconnect.

Hold the (lowered) tranny up with a jackstand once you have the engine out.
