Parts car?
Problem isn't so much the weight (an engine hoist can easily take it, it's only about 250 to 300 kilos or so). The problem is the length. To get it out you'll need to tilt it quite a bit so you can lift the entire assembly out through what's essentially the opening between the top of the firewall and the top of the nosecone. To do this you'll need to have either space available under the car (inspection pit?) or get the car up in the air to create some extra space.
On a 700/900 series it's really easy as the front completely disassembles to you only need to clear the low metal behind the bumper. I always remove engines with the gearbox or transmission attached from a 700/900; much easier to seperate them once they're out.
On a 200, you've got the upper metal to clear - the bit between the top of the radiator pack and the top of the grille. If it's a parts car and you don't care about the front, cut that top plate out to make life much easier for yourself.
You also make life easier if you remove the hood before trying to lift the engine+tranny out.
Do get an assistant to help manhandle the engine/transmission/hoist.
