I've seen the hoist too. As said, the center of gravity is well under the dash and not much room below the heater. I made an adapter cradle for my floor jack and that worked pretty well. A hoist could still be useful once you got it to rearwards to raise it up and out the door. -- Another couple of hands would be the easiest.
