Taking some of the old Honda four engines out can be a pain. If the frame is to be painted, I usually strip the bike down to a bare frame and engine then take the frame off the engine laid on its side. Assrmbly the same wrapping newspaper and cardboard around the fresh paint for protection.
I've read that elsewhere I have to remove the sump and camshaft cover then it will only come out from the right hand side - it's my plan to do it as you have suggested. I might take the cylinder block off to make it lighter.
