well ok you first need to get the tranny out. so, axles off, then disconnect shifter, then take the tranny out. after that you need all the electrical connections to be off to the side
(ignore how 
i look in this pic). then take off the AC compressor and ziptie it to the radiator support (don't open the lines!). unbolt the ypipe from the exhaust manifolds. disconnect the heater hoses from the engine or from the firewall, whichever you like. disconnect the elecectrical connections from the alternator. also don't forget to unbolt the main ground from body to motor (by the lower radiator hose where it comes out of the engine valley). at this point you should be mostly ready to put the chain on the engine... i use a pretty complex chain method (15ft of chain and i use every bit of it) but most people don't go through so much to chain the engine to the hoist hook. once you have it chained go ahead and tense up the chain with the hoist by lifting it a tiny bit... then undo the motor mounts from the xmember. once the mounts are loose just lift lift lift until the PS pump just rises above the fender... now disconnect that, and you should be home free.
