'93 Dodge Caravan 3.0

I have a Hayes shop manual that says you need to pull the engine and transaxle out to change engines.
It looks to me that the engine change could be done without the removal of the transaxle.
Anyone have any experience with doing an engine swap on one of these?
Thank you

Yes you can. Leave the transmission in the van, Remove crank pulley assy and the steel plate on front of the motor.
