Removing a 318 from a van

I always pull trans first, passenger seat and out the side.
Sadly I gave my 2002 1 ton van 360 over drive away when trans took a dump. Ran well but was very tired at over 350K miles. Was a former mechanic van to fix DHL trucks, vans on the road. Road hard put up wet. As we ran it as a work van from La, to South Miss.12 miles a gallon loaded up.
