Since you are taking the front end off you won't have to go as high probably, but you will still want to tilt the engine/tranny so that the backside comes out from under the tunnel without dragging. If you don't have one of those nifty engine tilters with a crank on it so that you can shift the weight fore and aft (I don't either) simply position your chain triangularly so that the bulk of the weight is on the backside, this will angle the engine down naturally.
You will also want to do something to plug the tailshaft on the tranny otherwise you are going to dump fluid or gear oil all over the place when it gets tilted. They make plastic plugs to do that, or you can use an old front yoke inserted into the transmission.
Have a buddy or two to help you, start lifting and check to see how it is clearing everything and that all your brackets, cables, etc are disconnected. You will probably miss one or two and have to disconnect those as you lift. Once you are up a little start pulling the engine lift back away, and watch to see if you are clearing the trans tunnel and engine mounts. Finally, just pull the lift all the way out and you are done.
Not rocket science, but it takes some patience and muscle.
