    With the front sheet metal off the engine and box come out easily as one unit. I slip a trolley jack in from the front and support the box with it, then drop the crossmember, lift the engine a couple of inches and lower the jack a little, lift and lower until you get the right angle to clear everything as you either push the car backwards or wheel the engine crane and jack back from the front of the car.... once the box has cleared the firewall you can balance it all by hand as you move the engine and box the rest of the way out.

    I have two inlet manifold studs with chain links welded to the heads, screw these in place at opposing corners and then you can attach a short length of chain to them with a couple of U shackles then hook around the chain with the chain winch or engine crane hook and off you go...
