Don't hang the chain from the intake bolts, the threads will go away on you after not too long. Use the bolt holes on the ends of the heads. If you're cool, you will beg borrow or steal an "engine tilter" which has two chains for the front of the motor, two for the rear, and a crank so you can angle the engine/ tranny exactly how you would want to to slide it in. No more pushing down here, lifting up there, to get it all aligned. Oh yeah, some engine hoists don't have enough boom length to get your motor all the way in without running the hydraulic ram into the front end of the car. Don't use one of those hoists, get one with the long enough boom.
