spinkox,
You should get a structural engineer to have a look at supporting the upper part of the chimney. Feasablity will depend on how thick the wall is which backs the chimney.
I assume the chimney is on the party wall, the flue is unlikey to be less than 9" so adding the brick width corbelling will be at least 13.5 inches. Do not try this without a professional opinion.
