There is no easy way, you just have to do it.

slow and easy, don't rush the process. Line up the tabs/holes on the bellhousing, and work methodically. make sure you hook up the groundwire.. I watched an emergency brake line get bright red and droop when they forgot to do so in a Ford engine swap I was idly watching.
