I am pulling the 2.9L for a rebuild and I have a question. Can I just remove the external bolts holding the trans to the engine and remove with the bellhousing intact or do I need to follow the haynes manual and remove the plate cover and take off all of the flex plate - fly wheel bolts?

You need to disconnect the flex plate from the torque converter and leave the torque converter plugged into the transmission. When reinstalling the engine, the torque converter must remain fully plugged into the tranny or damage to the front pump of the tranny will occur.
