I believe the motor can jus be lifted using a big jack. make sure its on a solid part, do not lift the motor from the oil pan.
There is no need to pull the motor.

What else needs to be removed? I don't even see enough room to put the mount up there.

The engine will need to be lifted or at least held in place, if you need more room to get them in you can lower the lower eng cradle a bit to get clearance.

You use a flat board the size of the oil pan and jack that up carefully.

+1 I have held up many motors with a screw jack and a piece of 2x4, although never did it on the 350z.
