Engine removal

I recently purchased a 13 frs with an AT thinking it would be a fun car. It had what sounded like a rod knock, so out comes the engine. That was what I thought was the easy part.
I’ve removed trans bell housing bolts, including the two nuts on the bottom studs.
All torque converter/flex plate bolts are removed.
Starter is removed.
Engine mount studs are not in the “holes”
I’ve checked several times for perhaps a bolt I forgot to remove
I’ve supported the trans, supported the engine, supported both.
I’ve used prybars
I’ve even said a few choice words

This engine does not want to even think about separating from the trans. Is there something I’m missing? It acts as if it’s still bolted together.
