How to Reinstall Tranny.

I pulled my Th350 out of the 82 Trans Am yesterday. (Those upper bellhousing bolts were not fun. Is there some trick I should know about??) Its going to be rebuilt next week. My question is how do I reinstall it. I mean getting it out was simple. Getting it off the ground and back into where it should be seems a little bit mroe of a headache. how do I get it under the car and then onto a jack etc etc. Can anybody help me with some sagelike pearls of wisdom? Thanks.

a 2 foot 3/8" drive extension and a flex socket for the uppers.

For getting it into the car, I like to raise the car as high as I can, set trans. on jack, then roll it under car. If you tilt it nose down (hold converter in place,) it'll go if you have the car high enough.
