you mite need a engine hoist and can left the engine from the top,removing the hood mite make it easier.have seen a guy on here that loosened all the K-member bolts and lifted the front of the car up with a good engine hoist,leaving the engine ,K-member and front tires on the ground.

Engine can come out the top but it's way easier out the bottom... That's how I did mine, in a driveway under a carport. Unhook everything then all that holds it up it 6 k-member bolts and 4 trans crossmember bolts.
