exactly. but if you really have to do it without it, jack the front of the car way up in the air and put it in from the bottom with a heavy duty floor jack. it wont be easy, but it can be done. id just go and rent a hoist. it will be way easier

i did 2 complete b16 swaps in a crx (tight fit) from the bottom end. never did a swap using a hoist. had 2 people lift the car from the sides and slid it from the bottom

yes i took the motor out from the bottom and soon as u pulled it out i slid the new one in and dropped the car down onto the motor....very simple. i was suprised how easy it is. i have a hoist at my girlfriends but it was not needed. never used a hoist so i cant tell you which was easier but a b16 is a tight fit in the crx and i found it to be very easy
