I installed my 428/TKO in my Shell Valley with them bolted together. You need to get the front of the car up just enough so that the legs of the engine hoist will go underneath the car. If I remember correctly, I had to straddle the driver's front tire with the hoist legs to get the boom out in the right spot. Put the front of the car up on cap block, or wood, and jack the rearend of the car up as high as it will go and let it sit on ramps or jack stands. You will need a hoist leveler so that you can choose any angle that you wish.
To me, getting under the car and having to wrestle a 100lb transmission isn't fun at all. I've done it both ways, and putting it in/taking it out with them together seemed the easiest to me.
