I too am replacing the tranny in my '88 900S. I thought at first that dropping the tranny from the bottom would be the way to go; when I got the replacement tranny and found out how heavy it is I gave it a second thought.
If you drop the tranny from the bottom you hopefully will work out (1) support issues for the engine, and (2) lifting the car high enough to work underneath... I did not want to deal at least these two issues.
I went out and bought a 1-ton engine hoist (you can rent them for ~20/day; at Northern Industrial Tools you can buy one for about ~$200) to take on the job and now I am glad I did! I figure I can use the hoist for some VW engine swaps I want to do in the future...
My advice...LIFT THE ENGINE OUT!
