I've replaced mine without removing the engine...its a tight squeeze, but can be done. Just need to jack up the engine a tiny bit after the iso mounts are loosened up, and support the cradle with something, like a wedge....I think I used a pry bar resting between the frame and cradle to give me some room.
If you do feel the need to remove the engine, just double and triple check that everything is disconnected, check the drive shaft bushing, and bottom of the oil pan for damage...when the iso mounts go it tends to rub against the front axle bolt, or center frame rail.
