I agree. It does not make sense to pull the engine to do an exhaust.

Except if you are installing an S&S Header system.  You can put the
system on the engine but then it will not allow you to get the engine to
the bell housing of the transmission.  If you are doing one of these
install the engine or leave it installed and then do the exhaust in the
van.  I have done it both ways it I have never really found it that much
easier out of the van.
