Seeking Advice on pulling engine

I recently found a local guy looking to trade his 70’s small block 350 for a straight-six. We are set to swap engines this weekend after he came and checked mine out last weekend.

I’m look for any advice or guidance on pulling the I-6 out. It looks almost to easy to be true but I figured someone has probably run into a problem that hopefully I can avoid. My plan is to pull battery, drain the fluids, disconnect hoses, wires and cables, and crack loose the mounting bolts. The other guy is bringing his engine hoist, as I don’t have one, to pull the I-6 from my truck straight onto his trailer.

Where is the best place to hook the chain?
Should I keep the engine and transmission together or leave the trans in the truck?
Remove the radiator for more room?

Please let me know what you’ve found that worked best, or things to avoid.
