I think I pulled mine out from above, but had to get most of the bolts from below. It makes it a lot easier if the exhaust is out, but then it gets in the way of putting the exhaust back in.

You also have to move some of the a/c lines out of the way on the drivers side strut mount support column thing because the lines are covering up some of the mounting bolts.

I was looking at it and I think I can get it in there by removing the throttle cable and the oil dipstick and sliding it in without securing any bolts on the bottom, just the top and sides...

it might rattle if the bottom is not secure but I have never tried it so I cannot confirm

I'll find someway to secure it, I don't want to take out the brake fluid reservoir or the intake...

Tried putting it in, but it is too wide in the center, the intake is too tight and either the brake fluid reservoir has to come off or the intake to get it all the way down...
