How about this

I have the same problem in my garage. But I got it all ready to come out, then pulled the car out of the garage, (pushed it by hand), then hooked it to the engine lift and pulled engine and transmission together. After I had it outside I used my floor jack to get the front end high enough to get the wheel ramps under the front wheels. It doesn't take very long to pull it out when it is ready to go, even when you consider that it is not an every day job and there are always other things that remain to be disconnected. You must have the front wheels up if you pull engine and transmission together. Radiator must be out and then protect the AC radiator with heavy cardboard and I also used a piece of sheet metal in front of the cardboard.
