If I have to pull it from the top ?

One guy here said that the two bolt holes on the top of the head are for lifting the engine. I know this was mentioned above, but the trick he said is that one lifts totally off the front hole for the engine alone and off the rear hole for the engine & tranny together. I also recall that someone posted photos of factory brackets for lifting. Still, I would use a leveler. Of course, remove the radiator, and if you plan to change the water pump now would be a good time to remove it.
