The engine in my '93 is officially toast. If I pull it without trans, will the pass side inner CV interfere with pulling it out of the clutch splines?

Nope. I've done it once. It is harder though. The input shaft on the trans doesn't want to let the engine slide over enough to come out without a fight. I would just pull the whole thing if I need to do it again.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?Comment

Tranny in is so much simpler, especially if your front end hasn't been apart for some time. Just easier not to have to worry about any of that.
And getting the motor off the input shaft, is simple, tilt engine up on the front side and wiggle it off. Not sure why so many people seem to have issues with that.
Like damkid, doing a sub 5 hour swap with a B3 is easily achievable.Comment
