The benefit is so the engine and gearbox can be taken out/put in as one.
It is easier to bolt the gearbox up to the block outside of the car than it is to lying on your garage floor but it is only if you are doing a bigger engine conversion. But in saying that, I can take the SR out of my sunny with the gearbox attached and I haven't touched the rad. support panel.

Edit: Dunno if its legal or not
