I typically pull motors with the transmission still in the car.
As mentioned above, lifting it a little, THEN unbolting the motor mounts...THEN removing the motor mount brackets...makes it easier to move things around.
And use a leveler..save yourself the headaches of trying to lift it "static". They are $40 for a decent one, from even Advanced Auto Parts.
I bolt the leveler to the head...front pass. side, rear drivers side. Use extra, longer bolts...with washers, to bolt the leveler on. Mine came with decent "L" brackets, so I used those.
I pull the header, but leave everyhting else on.
Good luck, have fun!
