Have a floor jack for backup. Two if you can swing it.

Here is a pic without the front elevated. (stolen from a pelican post)

Hey Bob, that's my car! When I pulled that motor, I did have the front
lifted on jack stands but not real high. That's the Craftsman motor cycle lift, it's a really great unit, not as cheap as the HF one but you get what you pay for! Note that the rear 6 ton jack stands are INBOARD on the torsion bar tubes, gets stuff out of the way.
