Do you have to lift both the engine and transmission when lifting in a 1961 impala its 283 with powerglide?

No, you don't have to lift the engine and transmission as one unit in a 1961 Impala with a 283 and Powerglide. While it's *possible* to do so, it's not necessary and is generally more difficult. The Powerglide transmission is relatively lightweight and can be safely removed separately from the engine. Many mechanics prefer to remove the transmission first, then the engine.
