If you put them in together as one piece you can do it carefull enough that you can leave the crossbrace in. If you do it in two pieces you'll have to take it out. I would also put the motor side of the mount on the motor and the frame part on the frame and then pin it after you get it settled so you can still move it around a little to get it in easier.

Place old bath towels folded, over the back of the heads and over the top of the tranny, and core support. You'll be surprised how much it will save it from scratches.
