Should be able to do the same thing with a floor jack in my opinion

I have put the car on a pair of car ramps. Just enough so that the floor jack would go easily under the oil pan with a wood block (to not scratch the pan).
Then I used my "two step" step stool to be at a nice height over the fenders.
I have removed the engine from the 64 GTO that way (one mount side at a time) many times, same deal for installing headers over the years.
If you have a Cherry Picker, you can lift one side at a time with that vs a floor jack and many times that is as safe or safer vs a floor jack or bottle jack.
