You posted as I was typing and browsing lol.
You can do it without a lift. I put a whole engine and gearbox conversion in my old two using a couple jackstands and two carjacks in about 6 hours
. As long as you support the engine when you drop the box it can be done. When you do it raise the car right up put it securely on some sort of stands so there is lots of room to move but not so much you can't put it back into place. Put a stand under the engine to stop it dropping and just unbolt away. You may have to let the engine tilt a bit to slide the spline out but that's alright. Those portable floorcranes can be a life saver for jobs like this if you have one.
