How do you pull a van's engine?

if your just swapping motor its better through the side, but if you remove the intake you can bring the trans out the front with the motor. i would bolt a chain tight from side to side and hook as close to the block as possible...i droped one out the bottom with a torch once too, then rolled the van on its side to get it off the engine..easy way but rough on the van lol i didnt have a cherry picker
