3.9 Install

I will be installing my friends 3.9 this weekend and would like some
opinions on the process. I have it down to the following choices:

1. Remove drive shaft, slide tranny back, install complete engine, slide
tranny back up to engine.

2. Keep drive shaft on, install complete engine trying to line up motor
mounts and the pins that stick out the bell housing and go into the block.

3. Same as above but install short block and bolt everything else up after
it's bolted to the tranny and mounts (it may be much easier to line up the
bell housing pins like this).

It seems like #2 would be most difficult. I have limited maneuverability
with the hoist (no load leveler). #1 sounds right.

Any hints, tips, suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks,
James
