pushrod,
I feel like I'm following you around! You can leave the transmission in the truck when you pull the engine. It actually makes it easier as the hunk that needs to be pulled out is shorter.
If you are going to rent a 'cherry picker' from your local rental yard, try and get the engine balancer thingy with it...much easier to balance the lash up with one of these.
Maybe someone will pop in and tell you the "very best" lift points for your chain. Don't drop it!!
