"It may be possible to get the top off with just the tranny hanging down, but I've never tried that trick, so I can't say for sure - might be worth a try."

I can't say for sure if it can be done on a 120, but I have most definitely changed out a top cover with the gearbox still attached to the engine on a 140 with an early (non-remote) shifter. Disconnect the driveshaft, put a jack under the front of the tranny, then remove the crossmember bolts and let the engine tilt down as much as possible. Like you say... pay attention to the hoses and other clearance items in the engine bay as you let the engine pivot on the front mounts.
