The very first step according to the FSM is "remove engine and transmission assembly". I'd imagine you have to remove the transmission but it might be possible to support the engine from the top while you disconnect the subframe member - other smarter people will know the answer to this. Dropping the whole cradle and lifting the car off it is the easiest method of removing the engine tho; and then you can disconnect the subframe with it out of the vehicle.
