Ah, ok. So you have a non-modular. Yes, that's a little trickier to get in. What you need to is angle the back part of the tranny (where the diff is) up a little to get it over the cross member (while leaving the nose of the tranny -where the driverside mount is- a little low). Then you start to bring the nose of the tranny (where the driverside mount is) up to mate to the block. But I don't worry about the bolt holes at this point. I just watch for the input shft going into place.
Once its there (it is a little bit easier to lower the flywheel side of the block- just a little), I then twist the tranny up to match the bolt holes.
One thing I also do (whether mod or not), is a take a piece of duct tape and tape the throw out bearing pivot arm to the tranny mount bracket, so that I won't acidentally push it around and lose the throw out bearing position.
I've gotten pretty good at the manuvuer over the years, but it is a bit tricky at first (like the passenger side motor mount when doing the timing belt)
