You could use long studs( get long carriage bolts and cut off heads) screwed into the bellhousing to guide the trans into the bell housing then remove them one at a time and put in bolts. I have done this many times..even with automatics.

The trick with that is to cut a slot in the stud so you can get a screwdriver in there to back it out if needed.
