 You roll it out with the suspension attached after removing the driveshaft. The 4 attachment points are rubber isolated. Make sure you have new bushings in hand if you do it this way. 

The main issue with removing the engine the usual way is getting to the exhaust manifold nuts with the engine in place.  I cut the exhaust pipe behind the wye and removed as a unit.

If the engine and transmission are removed as a unit they are very long and the car must be very high off the floor to get them in or out. The transmission bolts are hard to reach in situ but do-able.

Do not lift from the intake manifold. Remove it and use the manifold bolts and a chain.

Good luck!
