Tips on Removing GMC 305 V6 Engine + 3sp trans

[AngryPirate]

I'm planning on doing this in the near future and I was wondering if some of you could impart some knowledge on this.

What is the best place to attach the chain when using an engine lift? Removing the valve covers and attaching to somewhere on the head? Attaching to the intake manifold?

I believe I read that the rear engine mounts are incorporated into the bell housing which it autonomous to the engine and the trans, if I want to pull everything all at once are there any 'gotchas'?

Is it better to just remove the engine, trans and bell housing separately?

Any advice or pointers to resources are appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott
