I worked from above when I would have the car mostly on the garage floor - now, on a lift, I do it all from below.
But either way, it was much easier and less messy for me once I installed an adaptor to be able to use a modern spin-on filter. This one sold by Moss is typical:

Some prefer the original canister and that's okay - but for me it seemed like the 'Captain Hazelwood Oil Change' every time.
Too much time on my hands perhaps, but I even paint the spin-ons so they do not look so jarring under the bonnet:

On my '6, I had no problem using the spin-on adapter, but on my '3, i just can't bring myself to replacing the original parts. The old Purolator canister has been on there coming up on nearly 60 years, now. I would hate to separate them.
To answer Marla's question, I find it easier to pull off the front tire for a little better access; still, a messy job to be sure. But for a once a year chore...

I can't visualize how that would help. Maybe this is on a TR6?
