Jim,
       In my opinion you want to drop the engine down.  As another mentioned, 
you need a very tall engine hoist and ceiling height to pull it upward, plus, 
its hard not to scuff the paint in the engine bay.

       To drop the engine, you need to disconnect the exhaust system and 
remove the right side exhaust manifold or header, but the other one can stay on 
the engine.  Working together, Larry Atkisson and I have done this job dozens of 
times and our fastest engine/transmission removal was 90 minutes.
