I never had any trouble installing the engine gearbox as one in my bugeye.
I've never done it any other way. With a crane it's not a problem.
It's got to be easier mating up the gearbox while it's out.

Subject: RE: Engine and gearbox removal questions
If I have an engine and tranny together but out of the car, would it be
easier (as a first timer on this) to split them to put them back in?
Also, since the engine/tranny are out, is there a preferred way to transport
this? Should I place it back in the car when I flat bed it home or lay it
on its side in a truck?
I guess as I write this, I know I should split the two to install a new
clutch since I have the opportunity. I found a receipt for new clutch
parts, but who knows if it was installed.
I will have full access to a hoist (permanent loan in return for storage of
it) so that isn't going to be an issue this next spring/summer
