The hood and radiator will have to come out. It would help to remove the distributor so that it doesn't bump anything and break. If you'll have trouble putting things back together then use paper with wire ties shipping tags to number where you removed a hose, tube, or wire and put a numbered tag on the place where something was removed, and the part removed. Drain your oil first, not while you are wrestlibng with an engine, it's easier to handle that way, unless you like surprises. There should be lifting eyes at diagonal corners of the intake manifold. It should lift fairly straight if you remove the bell housing from the engine. I was on a job with a circus where we would remove gas engines from C60 semi tractors at the lot where we were set up by several people lifting the engine out, but a forklift, boom, rafter, or tree limb have worked for me, too. When I've junked a car, I've cut everything loose and rolled the car over, but you probably don't want to do that.
