Best 215 pulling engine method

I'm pulling my 215 engine and replacing it with a rebuilt 223 on my 1952 Ford f1 and was wondering what is the best way to pull this engine. I will be removing the front clip also to make it easier. Thanks for any advice
 
After removing the radiator and disconnecting all the ancillaries, unbolt the engine from the bellhousing and disconnect the motor mounts. Assuming it has a manual transmission, pull the engine forward to clear the clutch then lift it out. Make sure you replace, or at least check, the clutch while you have it apart. Or disconnect front and rear mounts and pull it out transmission and all. I might be oversimplifying but once everything is disconnected it should be pretty easy, especially with the front clip missing!
