I would not recomend blocking it off any other way then useing the block off plates its too big of a hole and too big of a risk. You dont have to pull the engines all the way out either you can just slide em foward about a foot if you have the room. If not pulling them all the way isn't a big deal, ussualy the worst part is dealing with the exhuast which is the reason your pulling them anyway. Other then that it only takes about 15 minuits to get the engine out.

I don't know how you can pull the engines without pulling the drives. 
Pulling engines is really no big deal. After you do it once its like riding a bike

Tbird,
I think you will sleep better pulling the engine and installing the blockoff plate. You will need to pull the drive off in order to get the engine back in so pull it off first to prevent damage to the drive shaft / coupler.

Re: Pachanga exhaust?
Thanks guys, thought more about it after my post. Engine has to come UP to clear the front mounts anyway. We'll pull the drives and engines and do it right.
