If you spend any time on Exile's site or give them a call, they will tell you why this is not a great idea. Perhaps it will work but there will be undo stress on 1. the main shafts on both motor and trans, 2. the cases of each where the pressures are now being increased, not to mention the runout caused by the added pressure to keep it going without a motor/trans plate.
There are a few out there that have minimalistic plates that are not all that visible, but most will tell you that you will end up with problems due to no support. The cases are just cast afterall.

Hmmm, here's a pic of the Exile setup, don't see any motor/trans plate? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question.
