  1. copy the image and place in place.
  2. use the pen tool to create a path through the image and close the path below th image.
  3. shift click the image to select both the image and path
  4. use pathfinders to ‘subtract’
  5. this will get the top half of the image you want

  6. copy the current selection and paste in place so the top half is duplicated over the image.
  7. shift click the bottom of the image to select the top half and full image and use pathfinder to ‘subtract’ again.
  8. if done correctly you will end with two frames that split the image

I hope this works for you.. if Ari S. sees this he may be able to write a script for this that would be much simpler but i have no scripting knowledge as of now though i do plan to learn.
