I'm sure Stevejumpr can one-arm bench press an SM420! But maybe I'll use the hoist. Thanks for the advice!

The Shop Manual tells you to remove the engine/clutch/tranny unit in one piece and to install it the same way. Of course, this is the manual which also tells you to put the engine/clutch/tranny unit on an engine stand. (Huh?) They had different equipment and methods in those days.
