I can confirm it's a PITA - I did it years ago. It's lower engine rear toward passenger side like you said. I chose to climb on top of the engine and reach down behind when removing it. When reinstalling it, I did it from below reaching up around the transmission bell housing. Both were time consuming and frustrating, and I honestly can't say one method was better than the other.
