I the car is apart (radiator, bumper, hood,and extension, etc) it would be
a cinch. While I haven't pulled the engine and transmission out of an
assembled Bricklin, I have pulled engines and transmissions together out of
my MGB, a MKII Jag, amd a Daimler. Pulling them as one unit, the trick is
to have plenty of overhead clearance and tilt the engine/transmission combo
as you raise it and move it forward. Then, once you have cleared the
firewall with the back end of the transmission, you bring it level again.
Pulling the radiator was a must in the other cars and would probably be wise
in the Bricklin. I used plastic coated cables to wrap around the engine and
hook to a hoist. Good Luck.
