The engine should rest (not ideal) on the NS top engine mount and the OS gearbox mount and rotate backwards a couple of cm once you remove the support bracket. Ideally you should have an engine support hoist/crane/block & tackle of some sort.

To be honest, I thought I could just remove the bracket and that would be it without touching the top mounts. I could just about bring myself to try what you said if the only risk was an engine falling out of place. I'm a little more concerned that I would end up injuring myself though. Do tell me if I am blowing things out of proportion here because that sump really needs to come off somehow! Thanks.
