Default Clutch replacement, Engine out or Box off

Need to replace the clutch on the weekend. I have no lift so I'm going to do this on the floor, is it easier to disconnect the coolant hoses, turbo exhaust outlet etc. and remove the engine with the box in situte or jack the front up and drop the box and cross member?

Cheers!

yes mate no probs just disconnect the loom heater matrix pipes take radiator out remove clutch action pin/pivot from gearbox and the rest is pretty obvious just make sure you jack the gearbox very slightly to line up with the engine when refitting
