Come in from the front with the cherry picker. Just make sure you have rented one with enough reach. Coming in from the side would be much more difficult in my opinion because you need to be able to pull the motor forward after you've lifted the motor off the mounts in order to avoid hitting the firewall.

Also contrary to what some have said above, there is no need to remove the radiator, alternator, steering wheel, steering shaft or oil filter. I install mine with the bellhousing unbolted from the motor. I've heard you can leave it bolted up but I've never done it that way. It really is pretty easy.
