Put a plug in the tail shaft of trans., like an old input shaft. Make sure you secure it with a wire or duct tape, unless you like messes? Put the front of the car up on jack stands. You don't need a leveler. Use a floor jack under the trans. you may have to hold the trans down with your hand, as you lower, until you get the trans under the tunnel. Lower engine a little, stop. Then jack up on trans. keep doing this and pay attention to things getting hung up on the firewall, etc...until the engine is in place.
