Draining manual gearbox on removal?

I am about to remove my manual box but I have it in my head that a few years ago when I was goin through a cluch changing phase (fitted gearbox on and off about 4 times due to different clutch issues) I never drained the oil but yet removed all lines. I did do a gearbox oil change but only when happy with clutch. Can I remove the box without draining? I do expect a bit of spillage when the bottom line is removed.

Think I'm loosing it. :pinch:
