you don't need the engine lift mate, drop it out from the bottom. Secure the car HIGH on axle stands. Secure a jack at base of the gearbox near the flywheel undo the engine mounts slowly let the jack down it will want to come down the side of the gear box first because the weight and the way the engine mount on drivers side helps keep it up as it needs to slide out that mount. also have a mate or two to steady the engine on its descent, once on floor a couple of mates should be able to lift the front of the shell if needs be to pull it out. hope that helps but probably told you what you already know lol.
