The catalytic converter is welded to the exhaust manifold and very little room to unbolt manifold. Do you have to pull engine or raise body up to get room to remove bolt?

You do not have to pull the engine or body in order to get this out as it is tight but can be done.

So, I am attaching the info below on how to remove this.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this:
