Paul, what page on which maintenance manual?
[I found your instruction in the pre-A-D manual, Step 17. What year is the truck/engine in-question in this post?]

Here is an illustration of the engine "lift kit".
Here are the lifting locations/instructions in the Shop Manual.

I have done it many times, with and without the transmission attached to the engine, using a "load-leveler" and a long-arm hoist (shop crane).
This leveller might work, however, I use this one.
