Lippy - have you seen the tip on making a couple 3 or 4 inch dowels for the two upper transmission to bellhousing bolts by cutting the heads off of a couple of long bolts? When the transmission is lifted into place it's hooked on the dowels and carries the weight so it can just be slid into the clutch and pilot bushing with less binding. Besides easing the heavy lifting it protects the clutch disk from bending and helps protect the pilot bushing. I've used it many times on my 66 Corvette and it helps a lot. I think Bob mentions it in his manual also.
