all looks correct to me, I had to remove the exhaust covers to get a long extension bar down to the engine mounts, I could see them but the angle was too far off to get a decent grip on them. I pulled the engine using a 4x4 by 8 ft beam in the joists of my roof so i spead the weight over 5 roof beams. generally roof beams are way over designed as they are spec'd to withstand the pressure of wind at 70mph or 3 inches of snow etc so an 800lb engine and tranny spread over 4 or 5 beams is generally not a problem, the optimum of course would be an engine crane but then you cannot get under the car to pull the sub assemby so you have to support it from the top, catch 22!
good luck
