Want to Pull Out Engine ONLY...!!!

Howdy,
I just picked up a 98 4Runner with 3.4 and Auto Tranny.
I need to pull the motor, I want to pull ONLY the motor...!!!
Dose anyone have a trick to gain access and puling out the bolts holding the Engine Flywheel and Auto Flexplate together.
I was under there last night and spent 2.5 hours just getting the Cover plate off. Next is getting to the six bolts holding everything together.
I really do not want to pull both the engine and tranny out together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated~~~>>>BIG TIME
Thanks,
Rex M.

You'll probably have to go through the hole for the starter unless there is an access hole somewhere else.

When I did my engine swap I Got the access cover off at the bottom of the bell housing and then you see one screw and undo them one at a time.
