Ramps are best, for me. IN THE FRONT,
Then jack up the rear, so the car is LEVEL (or damn close.) Place the jackstands. This makes disengaging the engine from the tranny less problematic.
If you can't raise it high enough to clear the shroud, take off a rear wheel first, and the engine can be maneuvered thru the side without the wheel in the way.

Good idea.
