Greg,

I can't really answer your question with the 74s.  But I'm assuming 
that it's very similar
to the 75s.  If I remember correctly, you should be able to remove 
the bolts that hold
the xmission mount to the cross brace,  leaving the mount attached to 
the xmission.
Trying to get to the bolts that held the mount to the xmission is 
about impossible
with everything in the car.

The other option is to actually pull the cross brace from 
chassis.  This will give you a lot more room to drop the xmission and 
angle the engine/xmission combo.
