Lessons learned - elephant ears
This is one of those questions where the answer depends totally on your situation. What tools you have, what equipment you have, what kind of help you have, etc. My last shop had an overhead crane so the way I pulled engines was totally different than how most people did it. I could pull the engine and transmission out very quickly with the tools I had.
In your case your best bet is a lift plate (tilt plate) on the carb with your engine hoist. Use the hoist to hold the engine while you unbolt the water pump and remove the ears and then lift it all up out of there.
With my shop crane I would just lift the front of the Duster up in the air and slide the engine underneath and then lower the car down over the engine. I could put the engine and front suspension on the car by myself in half a day.
