Default Remove engine with lift plate?
Going to be swapping my engines around from my 97 and my 99 Dakota's. Is the lift plate ok to pull them or should I avoid that?

i wouldn't do the plate to the keg. it's only aluminum. good chance on stretching the bolts that hold it on also.

A lot of people use them but i don't, Especially on aluminum. Use grade 8 bolt into the head as a attaching point.
