    I can not say if you’ll need to move the engine, but if you do, assuming the vehicle is on jack stands a block of wood and floor jack will do the trick one the motor mounts are unbolted if needed.

    As to any tips …
    Your up against 17 years of rust build up.
    I suggest lots of penetrating oil.
    A good torch
    Six point sockets
    Perhaps a grinder and cut off wheels
    Also take your time!!! it’s too easy to strip / snap rusted fasteners.
    Might also look at YT videos on how to loosen rusted exhaust fasteners.
