The engine lift for those motors was a hook shaped fork that lifted them from the manifolds. You could wrap your chain front and rear of the manifold and on the lower right side there is threaded bolt holes you can attach an equalizing chain to and have a three point lift..I'd pull the transmission with the motor. The 223 in my 56 Mercury was painted blueish green color.I'd pull the radiator so it doesn't receive any damage...
If you Google that number, you should see a link to Forel publishing come up with a picture of the shop manual cover. There you can download a sample of the shop manual and in the 30 or so pages they let you see, engine removal and installation are covered. So you could get a free look at some great information. But I would order one because sooner or later it will make life easier.
Edit:
John mentioned pulling out the radiator. I second that along with the headlamps, hood/radiator valance and grill. I changed my engine years ago,(not a 223 though but previous owners 302)and it made it so much easier to use the hoist to just "walk it in".
Make sure when it goes back together you get the dowels aligned correct or you will end up like me cussing under your rig after cracking it.
also I have with one or two manifold combos on the shelf.

Sorry for being uneducated on this but which dowels and do you mean cracking the intake?
