   Quick question
   
   Is there enough room to remove the engine whilst leaving the gearbox in the car?

   you need to remove on of the driveshafts anyway. (unless you remove the carrier from the engine) which is still an arse.

   just take the gearbox out with it, pointless leaving it in.
   why would you want to leave it in?
   
   Take it all out ftw
