[T3] engine install


question  this saturday my father and i (VW engine installing virgins) are 
going to install my type3 into that microscopic space in the rear called an 
engine bay or whatever.  now here is what we are going to do and tell me if i 
am thinking wrong or missing something.
1) lifting the rear with ramps (rolling the square up these ramps and pulling 
up parking break to prevent roll.
2) lift the front end with jacks and support both sides with jack stands so 
the car is as level as possible.
3) support the tranny with a jack at the same time (have 2 of them)
4) raise the engine to the tranny install bolt down according to spec and 
then lower everything.

questions :  anything i should be wary of with the engine on the jack?  how 
should i get the engine on the jack (it is currently on the floor)? there 
will be only 2 of us doing this.  other than that help me out here.
