 I have pulled the engine using a hoist and it is not difficult. The aluminum intake manifold is not to be used for lifting. It will break.

Find a couple of bolts to attach a chain. I used one in the front and one in the rear.

The method described above has been used by many folks with good results. Once the subframe is detached, the transmission mount can be removed so the engine and trans will be left on the ground when the body is lifted off.

Make sure to drain the transmission on 4 speed cars before removing the driveshaft. Ask me how I know!
