Will probably still stretch the brake lines, fuel lines and steering rod at the drivers side engine bay to chassis. The wiring loom on the bulkhead to the top of the engine and the fuel tank filler an breather. Wiring down to the transfer box, spedo and fuel tank. Handbrake cables.
I've never tried lifting one end so far, you'll need to take the bolts out of the front mounts but it should pivot OK

On the 8th Day God made the LandRover -
On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.

It's doable, I already had the fuel tank removed and hand brake disconnected but had no other issues. Just slackened the front bolts without totally removing them.

Same as mine then. I had nothing left to weld a new floor to so I've ended up fitting a flat one.

Good luck. Removing all the rear suspension and the fuel tank made getting in there a darn sight easier and wasn't a huge effort.
