Strip the motor of everything possible. Intake, heads, alternator, exhaust. Short block weighs a lot less. Wheel the car away from the engine to put less strain on the hoist. Ratchet strap under trans, hooks into frame rails at bottom of firewall.
At least once I had to pull an oil pan to clear the radiator support, what vehicle I don't recall.
Bendy hoist, not sure I'd even do this job.
