Pull engine for clutch job?
I've heard some people say it's easier to do a clutch swap by just pulling the whole engine as opposed to just the tranny (as I did before).
My shitty egay clutch fucked me over and is slipping (as are many others, there's a thread about it in Suspension brakes and drivetrain). Just wondering how I should go about this since doing it under the car was hell.

Your going to have to get underneath to unbolt the bellhousing anyway, might as well just pull it from down there.
Follow Bryce's advice and get it up as high as you can and use a long extension and swivel. Piece o cake.

I haven't done it underneath, but removing the engine/trans isn't too bad, as long as you are able to get the exhaust, ppf and driveshaft bolts off easily. It's a lot easier to work on the clutch and align the trans input shaft with everything out
Whenever I look up from underneath, I can't imagine how people are able to do clutch jobs with little to no space to get at the bellhousing bolts. I guess I'm not that baller

I don't know why you're trying to justify it man, just do it if you want to, **** what other people say. Personally I think if you're going to do all that you might as well go all the way and just pull it, it'd probably be the same amount of time but less frustration and knuckle scraping.
