Anouther Snag Pulling the motor out

[Marv02]

Pulling the motor Do I need to remove the motor mount that bolted to the block before I can remove it all the way.
I tryed to Cherry pick up But I need Anouther 1/2 to 3/4 of inch before it free of the frame motor mount ears on the frame.
The rear of the motor is starting to hit the fire wall as I pull up on he motor already.
The Trany will not free it self I tryed to pry on it lightly no luck comming apart so far.
I have removed 6 Bell housing bolts and removed the TQ converter bolts still not seperating so far.
I have a jack Stand under the trany inspection pan to support it.
What am I missing here HELP.:W

It was 2X more than I intended..but on the bright side, I can do it myself now in just over 4 hours!

MUCH easier to let the transmission stay in the car! Don't even need to take the hood off.
