Pretty sure theres 2 beams that go across the whole engine bay front behind the grille. These are not removable so you cant get enough leverage to take out engine and gearbox in one go.

If I were you I would take out both engines, then see if gearbox splines have any play. They're pretty bulletproof gearboxes so might not even have to take them out anyway?
