Someone please tell me how the Shuttle crew would perform a transfer
into Soyuzes in the cargo bay that have had their orbital modules
removed.

The shuttle crew size is typically five to seven people. The Soyuz seats
two or three. You do the math.



Someone should suggest this idea -

Produce a modified version of the Soyuz without an Orbital Module and
possibly with a smaller Service Module. If two could be carried in the
payload bay, they only take up about half the space, you can now return a
crew of six.
