NV5600 bellhousing question / problem

Bought a cheaper NV5600, in good shape and only 36K original miles, 2004 model, that was in a bad wreck. The trans appears fine but the backing plate and the bellhousing are both badly cracked. Found a new backing plate, and foudn a semi-cheap new OEM bellhousing for the NV5600 online for aobut $170 before shipping. Anyway, when I took a look inside, looks like the front bearing cover for the 5600 is integral with the bellhousing? So it looks like it could be a PITA to swap the bellhousing on it? I don't want to mess anything up if there is something to mess up, and I have a good tran shop that I use that is familiar with it. But I would rather save the $$ of course. can anyone describe whats under there?

Also, strangely, more than any other trans, a lot of people have said "taht bellhousing is integral" to the NV5600, but it is clearly a seperate piece that is alum while the tran case is cast of course.

Any advice?
