When pulling a motor out that's coupled to a Volvo 270 drive(the drive is off anyways) Do you just unbolt the motor from the bellhousing??

Also Do you need a tool (lile on a merc) to re-aline the drive and engine?

Yes unbolt the bell housing, it is a long package with the bell housing on. It helps to have the drive on when you put it back in, shift the drive into gear and turn the prop to get the spline to line up to the flex plate. Check the spring in the flex plate for rust and looseness, sometimes when the plate gets rusty it will have a few small cracks if it look crappy chuck it.

PS Edit No tool needed to line it up!
