I R/R'ed the engine in my brother's '05 Sierra 4WD before I had my lift functioning. I R/R'ed the one in my Tahoe with the lift. There's really not much to gain with a lift in this particular job. More convenience is about the only real gain, especially if you're really lowered. But you don't spend a whole lot of time underneath. I'd put it up on stands and do all the underneath stuff- starter, converter bolts, lower harness attachment points, lower bell housing bolts, etc. Then, set it on the ground and remove the hood and do everything else from up top. You could even remove the wheels and set the frame or LCAs on blocks if it puts it at a more comfortable working height. The only real back-and-forthing is when cracking the bell housing free from the block. I use a scissor jack to make minor adjustments in the engine and trans alignments to relieve pressure on the two so they come apart more easily.

My girl was running errands. CEL came on, in her 2002 TrailBlazer, but no running problems or starting problems. Got home and I pulled in under driveway canopy. Code P0340, cam sensor problem. Easy 5 minute replacement. AZ has an AC Delco 213-1557. Gonna get in morning and throw the parts BB Gun at it.
