Yep. Just did on my '56 Chevy T400 without unhooking anything but the TQ convertor. Then LOOSEN all trans bolts and pry the trans and motor apart. Push back the TQ convertor. This will give you room to get at the flexplate bolts. Try it, it worked for me.

Another way is to replace two of the bell housing bolts with longer ones, remove the other 4, and slide the trans back. This gives yo a little more room. Also, you can use a serpentine belt wrench to remove the flywheel bolts. Hope that helps!
