Default Easy Engine Install Question

I'd figure this would be the best area for this question. I recently did major work on my B16 and she's ready to be dropped in. Now this might seem silly but is it recommended to drop the engine in level with the car (so all the mounts line up at the same time), or to install the transmission side first, thus making the engine go in on a slant and then leveling it off for the other mounts?

Thanks

It matters if you are coming from the top or bottom. Bottom, I have it level and just pull it straight up. Top, I tilt the transmission down a bit.

for 2 of the swaps i did before was the tranny side slant it in and best way to do that is when you use the engine lift make sure the chain is chained more to the opposite side of the tranny (cam gear side). and i've helped a friend out one time and he jacked teh car up extremely high and and slide the motor in and lower the car back down then use the engine lift to carry the motor back up so its got more clearance like that. its all up to how you think is best for you.
