Default K-Member question

If you all were dropping your k member to change header gaskets would you-
leave the motor in the engine bay and drop it or would you leave the motor in the k member and lift the car up and over it. trying to decide which way would be easier...I was thinking leave it in the engine bay

I woulddrop the k member out of the way and lower the engine slightly with a cherry picker.

my suggestion would be to un bolt the motor mounts and lift it up high enough to change the gaskets
