I did lift it really sketchy though... LMAO  :o :o :o



 There's a hole under that motor mount.
 That's what I use to lift it.
 Remove the front motor mount,
 stick a hook in it and chain/strap coming from it to get it above the rad support so the cherry picker can get to it.

 I have used doubled-up seat belt to lift cars using that hole and hook combo.

 Your way looks good and works. Luckily there's a lip in the motor mount that helped hold the chain on.

 You remind me of myself, cloths all greased up, double/triple layers and working in the snow  ;D
