There is a bracket available that slips under the inlet manifold (or something like that ) - you see them on Ebay every now and then but if its just a one off ( hopefully ) , its hardly worth the expense.

Chain is pretty common for engine lifts. Make sure it's in good condition, fixed well and heavy enough for the job. Can be a bit trickier getting the balance right (harder to avoud paint scratches and dings if putting in to a newly painted engine bay, but not insurmountbale).

The link below may be of use if you want to chase up a lifter:
