I think my next port of call will be You Tube - see if I can find some actual pictures of someone doing the job by lifting the LHS engine mount and taking the sump off that way. Fortunately I've left myself plenty of time!

PS. Now, this is a good post about removing a AW71 box from a 740. The BofH advises removing the auto box before lifting the engine due to its weight - which sounds like a sensible plan (the motor without a box would be trivial to remove).
Should be plenty on YT about it Alan, will keep you busy for quite a while finding and reviewing it all though!
