Raising the engine to get at exhaust bolts

Good grief.

Trying to get the cylinder head off and thought I could jack the engine Up with the mount loosened only to discover there is a plate under the engine has to come out to get a jack on it.

Beginning to warm to the idea of pulling the head with exhaust attached. Don’t have a hoist, not sure even if I buy/rent one I can get it home (my other car is a Boxster). Have seen an engine support tool at harbor freight but not sure I can get it tall enough to clear. Don’t really want to take the AC stuff off either.

Sorta stuck.
