Hi,
that's how I did mine. If you get the engine and box in position ( gearbox mount helps) you should be able to get the engine to the correct height using a jack.
I got my gearbox in by eye (ie central and square to the diff), then using a spirit level (bit OTT) and checked the chassis for level length ways and width ways, then tried to match the engine as close as. Seems to have worked. Allow for some compression on your mounts.
Hope thats helpful.
