Update for anyone interested. I got back in the shop yesterday afternoon and got serious. Pulled the goofy seating platform off, removed the makeshift steering column support, wiring and voltage regulator, drained the coolant, pulled the radiator, disconnected the tailshaft, disconnected the shift linkages, popped the intake and exhaust manifolds, and pulled the head off. The engine and trans mounts are free and it's ready to pluck out.

Any tips? Current plan is to copy what I've seen on these forums and fab up some sturdy brackets and use the head studs to lift the engine out.
