Replacing clutch in 1950 Shoebox Convertible

[Shoebox on Whidbey]

I just brought home a beautifully restored 1950 Shoebox Convertible, that recently had a new disk, pressure plate andTO brg installed. This is a flathead 8 with overdrive and has a large shutter when engaging the clutch. I believe it is a bad disk and need to pull the 3 spd trans out.

I am not as familiar with this vehicle as the people on the forum. Is it possible to remove the transmission without removing the engine?

Thanks in advance for tapping into your vast knowledge.
