well i dont have a car jack..looks like you got to jack car up pretty hi to drop it then you got to roll it out ,,and take susp lose,,i pulled a 97 cobra motor ,,from the top ..i left trans in car i pulled the heads off in the car first,,i cant recall if i drop it in with the heads on ??im losen my mind..sorry!
you may need to pull the radiator and jack the fromt of the car up a bit to get it all out as one. then when you get the trans out of the tunnel and engine up high enough you can lower the car back down and just roll the hoist forward
A/C system you can either disconnect or unbolt and swing to the side

when i did it in my `80, i built a frame out of 4x4 uprights, and 3 2x10's laminated (glued and nailed with plywood between) and a come along. lifted the front end 6 feet into the air while dropping the 'k' and rolling the whole thing out.(on a 4 wheel dolly)
