I replaced mine from the bottom because it was the approach recommended in the WIS. I had to loosen the motor mounts and the subframe bolts. I also moved the power steering hose, and my reward for that was that it sprung a leak a month later. It just takes a lot of force to move the motor forward to get the darn thing out, and there are quite a few things to unbolt and move out of the way. In the end, it took something like 6 hours over 2 days. I am pretty careful, so I tend to work slow.
I think I would have tried from the top if I had to do it over again.
