You do not give the model so it will be difficult for anyone to give you a definitive answer. That said, I'd check the Factory Service Manual for the vehicle, but would bet that it is removed from the top side assuming a standard size engine compartment.

I'm assuming that you have an S-Series.
I've removed several motors from the top, and one from the bottom. Top is probably the best way to go for the typical driveway mechanic, and a leveler will make the job even easier. Here's a pic from my site:

A tip - label the wiring as you remove it from each engine sensor.
