Need help with engine pullout - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going to be pulling the 350 out of my 68 to change out the flexplate and a few other things. Now I have never pulled an engine by myself. I am going to be renting a cherry picker and getting a old tire or 2 to sit the engine on while I work on it and the engine bay of the truck.

Beside's unhooking everything attached to the engine is there anything I need to be careful of or need to know? Is this a 1 man job or should I get some help? The grill, radiator support, drivers side fender are off. The hood will be to before I do this.

Thanks
