If automatic trans, yes people say it can come out the top without the trans attached.
I think you need to remove the crank pulley for clearance.

I was able to pull mine from the top with the (manual) tranny attached. Wasn't fun, but I did it without messing anything up. Engine/Transylvania assembly went back in through the top with some finagling, again, without damaging anything.
