Are you planning to use just an engine hoist, or an engine hoist with a hoist leveler attached?
using just a hoist, it can be done with the bellhousing attached, but will be tight and require a few friends to assist
If using a hoist leveler attached to the engine hoist itself, it can easily be done with the bellhousing left on the engine with little to no additional assistance needed. Although I almost always had an additional set of hands to assist in the mindset of "better safe than sorry" after hearing of someone who's less expensive engine hoist tilted and the FE fell on the nose of the car (I was the shop to make the repairs).
