Any help would be appreciated!
Hello Everyone, I’m saving this coach. The PO started to restore it many years ago and has since passed away. Any help would be appreciated! Those who want to help and/or who like to turn wrenc...

You almost have it. The tool lifts/rotates the torsion bar, so the adjuster bolt that would normally be holding tension turns freely. The bolt is threaded into a small plate. The plate is not thick enough for the threads to carry the load when the bolt is turned. The tool just reduces/removes the load on the adjuster threads so they don't strip. In your case, you probably won't remove the adjuster completely, but just back it off a ways. Then loosen the tool so the porkchop rests on the adjuster again.
On the engine removal, I was assuming a hoist was sitting on the ground behind the coach. I assume the center section skin on the rear of the coach comes off. I'm also assuming there is really no room to actually lift the engine very far, but just enough to roll it straight out the back. Dropping the trans out the bottom would allow one to move the engine straight out the back if I'm assuming correctly about the center section of the skin.
