Default Engine mount tricks

I am swapping a b18c into my 97 dx and we are having a problem lining up the mounts. Is there any tricks to it? Also to make sure, can i use the dx tranny side mount?

bolt the rear mount in first, then use a jack under the tranny to lift the motor up or down and line up the other two mounts. I recently put the polyurethane inserts into my mounts and that was a bitch to line em all up. good luck. PJ
