1987 V10 with SM 465, how many bolts hold the bell hosing to the block ?

I’m pulling the engine on my 87 V10 (4X4) 350TBI engine, it has the manual transmission (SM 465?) and I cannot for the life of me get them separated. I’m thinking maybe I missed a bolt or something ? The truck is 100% original with 120,000 original miles.
Thoughts?

6 bolts.
The dowel pins in the block usually have a good grip on the bellhousing, especially if they've never been seperated and have some corrosion going on. Lift up and down on the engine a few times and it will work loose. Obviously make sure all the bolts are out.

Thanks ! got 6 out, dowel pins are finally separated but it not coming apart anymore., I may have it in a bind or the transmission shaft is rusted where it goes into the clutch maybe ? Never had one split apart so hard....

Note to self; Removal of exhaust manifolds and accompanying emission crap is necessary for engine removal

Hmm, really. I've pulled out big blocks without removing all that. I think the pilot was stuck
