Engine Removal Question

I have been reading and following the procedure to the remove the engine 
from the car and they talk about removing the driveshaft entirely 
(disconnecting it from both the differential and gearbox).  What is the 
reasoning behind removing it completely?  Is it merely a clearance issue 
where the engine and transmission might swing back and hit it?  Same goes 
for the exhaust pipe.  If the engine and transmission does have a tendency 
to swing back, would it be prudent to put some type of protection such as 
padding or blankets to protect the engine firewall and windshield?  This is 
my first engine pull and I want to make sure I don't royally screw 
something up.

Thanks

John
