Anyone who has pulled junkyard floors please step inside

I found a beautiful 85 that was hit in the rear end. I'm in the process of cutting the floors and I'm stuck at the front. Engine is still on the car and I'm working on the ground. Am I better off drilling the spot welds at the firewall and subframe boxes? Or pulling the engine and cutting the tunnel?

I thought I had attached pictures of the floor as it was pulled. Strange. I have a thread dedicated to the build that I will eventually add more pictures to as well.
