Ask yourself one question.

Am I willing to risk damaging my fender ?

Personally I’d move the car so I could remove the engine from the front. I see the method you’re thinking of using as being very awkward. You won’t have the ability to adjust the engine hoist position and if you find you need to move the car forward or back to facilitate the engine removal.

Pull the car halfway out and pull the engine, then push it back inside.
