I used a load leveler to keep the chain from the heads straight up and down instead of rubbing against the intake... and yes I lifted from the heads also
I have lifted mine in/out many times using the head tappings in the front and back.
I think it was Big Al that posted a LSx specific lifting apparatus that bolted on the exhaust manifold bolt holes.
