The reason seems trivial at a glance but I can assure you it's insurmountable. There's no way to get the #5 main bearing cap off w/o removing the rear end-plate. Besides, with the potential problems lurking in there you'd be nuts to not have the engine out. LOL in these engines often leads to melted pistons due to the loss of spray cooling after #3 main spins. The balance shaft bearings often starve as well. Given the likelihood that the engine will be replaced, you will save yourself a ton of aggravation to just drop it out first. You need the car about 30" off the ground (engine ~ 24" high plus 6" for subframe and whatever you rig to roll it out on). Even if you can save it, it is SO MUCH EASIER to work on the engine on a stand.
