It this were me using a lift or even on the ground I'd use chains or straps and put them under the motor mount arms and go over the strut bar to hold the engine up. Use rags under the chains so you don't scuff up the strut bar. I would also put a block of wood or a single post under the bell housing to hold the weight of the trans and engine. Then just start un bolting things like the lower control arms, outer tie rods etc etc. I would definitely have someone help you especially if you're going to be doing the job on your back. I would have to be under my Z right night to give you more information but I'm nice and toasty in my blankie having a Guinness. Let me know if I can be of more assistance.
