I've pulled engines both with a crane and a chain fall. I'll never
use a chain fall again. On just about everything I've ever seen, the
engine has to come forward (or sideways, or back, or all three)
instead of just up. On most semi-modern vehicles, it needs to move in
two directions, more or less at the same time. A crane lets you do
this.
If space is the issue, you can rent (or probably borrow one. Almost
everyone I know who does any amount of wrenching has one; they're
cheap.)
