Default Engine install in ERA

I'm planning my engine install and probably will do it in Oct. I have a lot of conflicting advice on the best way to do this. Should I install the engine+bell, and then the trans later? Or should I install the engine alone, and later the bell and trans, as ERA recommends? Has anyone installed engine+bell+trans together in an ERA 427?

Also, can I get by with a one-ton hoist or should I go with the longer-reach two-ton one? Did you use a tilter or just an engine plate?

I'd really appreciate your experience and tips. Thanks!
