If you need more space, keep the shock on, put a big lump of wood beneath the stand and prop the back up too. You can then, carefully, remove the main ehnine bolt without disconnecting much else and lower the engine a couple of extra inches. More blocks of wood are useful to balance the engine on, and check things like fuel lines and stair cables before pulling the bolt out.
Good luck.
