Default 65 Panhead engine removal help/info

I am changing frames and I want to remove the engine and components the easiest way possible and was wondering if I can remove the engine without removing the clutch? Can I remove the motor gear, chain and inner primary bolts and just pull the engine and do I need any special tools?
thankyou
Bill

Not easily. It is normal to remove the primary drive, including the clutch, leaving the trans and engine as separate lumps. You can't remove the chain without removing the clutch. The easiest way possible is by the book!

You could also call in the Classic section here to ask the Pan experts.
