Engine removal question

I am in the process of removing the engine from My 1997 Boxster 5 speed.

I am doing it it my garage, car on jack stands, and have the following equipment:

Floorjacks, small transmission jack, compressor and air tools, and a good mechanical background.

Is it easier to remove the transmission first, or engine and transmission together?

I realize that the engine will have to be supported after transmission is removed, but i will build a support similar to the Porsche one.

Approximately how much does the tranny weigh?

Please get a service manuals and read through the process.

The transmission comes out first or both the engine and transmission together.

If you take the transmission out first the engine will need to be supported. Again, please buy a repair manual and study up on this so you don't do damage.

Loren, I have a Bentley and another manual in .pdf version. I have read through both several times. I cannot see where it says remove transmission first.

However all the Bentley pictures are without the transmission attached.

The .pdf version says to remove them together using a special plate that holds tranny and engine together.

I guess the question really is what way is easier without a lift? I am leaning towards transmission first.
