not sure about the heads, but as for the trans, yes you can remove it without removing the engine

not sure about the heads either never messed with vortecs, as far as the trans, yep u can remove it without the engine, by removing the tranny brackets, but if you got big hands your going to kill yourself trying to get to those top bolts, but its possible.

Before you drop the trans..secure the torque converter..duct tape, ank mark everything with a paint pen so it all goes back in the same spot. Use a jack to lower the trans.

You'll want to secure it so it doesn't fall out on you......disconnect the battery or the ignition , you will have to turn the motor over some to get all the bolts on the converter.

Read that part again about the long extension and a swivel.

Those damn 6 bolts took me 2 hours........and seeing how I just blew my engine, I gotta do it again........
