Engine removal question

Looks great! Me personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with the cherry picker lift arm being further out than the front support wheels. A logistic I'm sorting out in my head currently as I'm using this method to move the car today.

my engine/tranny was sitting on the dolly I made (and have reused) out of scrape 2x4’s. It literally took me by myself less than 15 minutes to have it in the car, k frame bolted in with headers already attached. I disconnect the upper control arms at the ball joint so alignment didnt change. Hour or 2 bolting up all the other stuff. This is one where’s there’s no wrong way to do it, if your comfortable coming in from above do it like that. I like hooking up the headers, power steering pump and as much as I can but I also have room in my garage to have it out in the open. Single car garage would definitely cramp thingsView attachment 1715109663
