Yes- recently removed two integra engines,transmission included,throught the top with an engine hoist.I'm in the process of swapping engines from a parts car. As shown in the OEM manual,the angle makes this removal possible. The tranmission side must be lower . The angle would be thirty degrees min. or steeper.Reverse procedure for inst~~~ation.Tomorrow I hope to reinst~~~ the donar engine. I will induce an angle to facilate inst~~~ation and patiently( I hope!) adjust angles to catch ~~~ motor mounts. Good Luck !!
