When I remove an engine, I let it all the way down to the floor and then slide 
it out from under the car. That way the clearance I need under the rear valence 
is just the height of the engine, which IIRC is about 2 feet, or 60cm. I'll 
have to double-check this figure, but you can measure it in the car.

I can do this with just jackstands, under the outboard ends of the rear torsion 
bars.
