pullin a motor

[pimperout]

im looking to pull a motor and transmission all at once almost everything is disconected from the motor and trans its a 350/350 factory setup. im puttin it into a homemade mini-dragster sorta thing and i just dont wanna screw around with the carb so i dont want a carb plate. where else can i pull the motor from, and also a friend of mine was tellin me that i will need to pull the distributor to clear the fire wall, is that true and is there anything else that may have clearance issues? its a 71 GMC if that matters. thanks
