Remove the left front wheel and support the frame with a jack stand.
Lift the motor trans over the front of the car, start tilting it down in the back and continue inching the hoist back along side the car. After the bell housing clears the fire wall start leveling the tilt adjuster.
Slowly ease the motor down onto the motor mounts.
Doing the job by yourself should take less than a half an hour.

I'll be installing my side-oiler in the next few weeks. I assume your process is fine from either side, or is there a reason it needs to be done from the left side? Also, do you recall details of what components you pre-installed on the engine - expansion tank, fuel pump, alternator, etc?
Thanks for any details.

Kevin
