Default seized engine

I have a friend who seized his engine in his 1998 stratus, (2.4L) tell me, is there any way to R&R this motor without dropping it out the bottom, and if I HAVE to drop it out the bottom, is it doable in my Driveway?

the cloud cars are differnt than a sebring/avenger fj body. besides the cowl on the cirus/straus/breeze goes over the top of the motor and cannot be removed. on a v-6 cirus i junked, i removed the entire front end bumper, cooling package, upper and lower rad support and just yanked it out the front with trans but on the car i put the motor in, i couldn't just butcher to get it in so it had to go in bottom up.
