The engine coupler should be hooked to the flywheel and the driveshaft thru the bellhousing should just pull out of the coupler.
You remove the splash shield on the bottom of the bell housing?.J

No do i have to.

Only if you want to get the engine out using the method you have chosen. Not really the best way to go about it. But it will work.
Other thing, Volvo never use a 400.

Will the motor come out once I take the shield off or should I remove the outdrive? Does it use a cupler or how does it slide in if it doesn't use a cupler?
