As long as you pre-aligned the clutch and pressure plate first and most important....I have found that a load leveler makes it incredibly easy as well. I have always resisted using one but found a used one on craigslist for $15 and it paid for itself on my recent engine install...15 minutes at most and no juggling of the motor...one adjustment on the tranny jack and it was done.
