I think you are missing something obvious in this process; we use an old hydraulic table lift for such operations that can only rise about 48 inches from the deck. We put the car up on one of the twin post Bend Pak lifts to do the necessary fluid drains and disconnections, then lower the lift down to the table which is always left at about 3/4 full rise for small adjustments. When the lift is at a workable height, we raise the table to the engine, unloading the mounts so they can be removed, then raise the car up away from the table. Now you can either lower the table and separate the engine and gear box, or roll it out from under the car.
