disconnect the drive shafts, or prop, and then yeah pretty much, just take time and be methodical about it, checking things as you go so u dont leave anything conected between the car and the engine,

As above, drop the engine out rather than lift. Much easier and you can leave suspension, drive shafts etc in place.

Using an engine cradle, lift off mounts and onto jack, chocked up with wood, release cradle and use it to lift the front end of the car up enough for you to pull the engine out. Job done
