for the few extra bolts pull the trans with the motor out the top. It will be much easier to bolt up and align out of the car.

Yes, and the hood doesnt have to come off. Unhook the washer fluid hose fromthe attachment on the passenger side strut tower, take off the 2 hood struts from the hood, unscrew the drivers side hood strut pin and screw it in the hole closer to the hinge and reattach the hood strut to it to hold the hood open. The hood will stay vertical.
