I like Bruce am alone doing this. I split then drop. The way I do it is I sit the car under my block and tackle point in the ceiling. Jack the car up, remove fan and housing, remove the deck lid grille, sling the motor around the intake runners. Unbolt transmission, disconnect all fuel/electrical lines then take the weight of the engine with the block and tackle, remove clutch lever etc, loosen engine mount bolts, disconnect transmission in the tunnel behind seats. Then slowly drop the engine pulling toward rear of car as it drops to clear the 4 engine/tranny bolts then just drop onto my custom made engine trolley. Move car out the way, remove CIS and engine tin and then hoist up to mount on engine stand ta da works for me.
