Engine and gearbox - how hard to fit to car?

Looking at fitting my engine and gearbox into my car in the not too distant future.
Engine is a 302W and the gearbox is a Toploader.

It's some years

since I last fitted an engine and gearbox assembly into a car.
Question: with a decent mobile engine hoist (which I have), how hard is it to fit a Windsor plus Toploader into a 'typical' Cobra engine bay?
I don't have an engine crane leveller, but assuming I can source one, is this an operation I should be thinking about doing myself? .....and no smart @ss comments please

Cheers,
Glen
