No Lift 360 Swap Tips/Suggestions

I mean you can leave the auto in the car but its a pita as it has to line up going back in. I have a 4 speed and i always drop the gear box and pull the engine with the clutch and bell bolted up then put the gear box in from underneath now, you san install the whole shebang engine trans bolted together I've done that but it involves jacking the rear of the car way up and the engine kind of slides in on a bananna like arc pattern. theres more than one way to skin the cat in this situation.
