On my special I found treating the gearbox and engine as one thing was easier. I have restricted access to the foot wells so it is tricky fiddling with the gearbox in there. With a lifting eye screwed into number 4 cylinder and the starter and dynamo off the engine I found the engine and box balances perfectly level from a chain. I need to angle the gearbox down very steeply to get it in under the firewall but you can tip it up easily. I have an alloy sump but not the extra deep kind so it fits in no problem.The trickiest thing for me is getting the clutch pedal lever under the firewall edge, as all the scratches on it will now show!
