pulling engine with carb plate?

I pulled a 273 off the back of my truck using a fanbelt looped though the 2bbl intake onto my picker hook. I had a pic on here somewhere. Not recommended but I was just trying to get a good pic and I kept going until I had it on the ground! Lots of guys say seatbelts work great at the boneyard. I like the equalizer bars but make sure you got the lift to clear the motor over the rad support. I got mine up and was still about 3" short. I had to drop and extend the boom one more hole.
