i don't think you going to have a easy time to do it but you will have to drop your front running gear to bring the engine and tranny out in one swap should be two bolts underneath and the bolts on both on top of your front spring housing's

Default Pulling the engine

Factory says to lift the front of the body, even to pull just the engine. I think it will come out as a complete unit if the third member is dropped (it has to come out to remove the tranny/transfer case anyway. The challenge is the firewall/front axle clearance. I think getting the balance right for the complete assembly will be difficult, too much weight to the rear of the bellhousing.
