I supported my engine from the bottom with a jack and a block of wood. I guess it all depends on which approach you want to take.
I was thinking it would be less work. I have an engine hoist. Removing the exhaust midpipe and the cat converter are a bit of work but to me not as bad as having to remove the axles, the engine mount brackets from the engine, any of the suspension parts. If indeed it can be done this way.
