If you use a hoist or winch, go SLOWLY. Have a helper with you. Watch carefully for the things that you forgot to disconnect that will break if you pull too hard. Hoses, wires, brackets, cables, etc. Very easy to miss one or two, very easy for the ones you've correctly disconnected to get caught on something. When you lift by hand you can feel the resistance. With a hoist you do not and you can just yank something that doesn't want to be yanked.

screw that, you have to remove the exhaust and intake manifolds completely from the cylinder head, you are going to attempt to pull the head with the exhaust and intake manifold intact? no, that won't work.
really? your serious about this? because that's absolutely not going to work. you gotta completely disengage the every last damn thing on a cylinder head to get it loose and do the job properly. taking the head out with either manifold still attached? no, you can't do that, what are you going to do, take the injection system out with the head....come on....i would stop right now and put whatever you have taken apart back together and think about this.....looks to me as though you not going in the right direction

Nah, that's BS. Depends on the engine. I'm not familiar with this particular engine, but often it is much easier to take the head with one or both manifolds and some of the fuel system. When it's on the bench it is much easier to disassemble. The downside is that it is heavier to remove from the car.
