I ended up removing the front header to give me enough room to move it around and it went in right away. I'd suggest leaving the front header off until it is in the car since it made it a lot easier for me. It only took about 15 minutes to get it back on without the radiator in the car.
Yep, I did mine the exact same way, except I had someone else lowering the engine while I helped guided it in.

There is life after the Cougar, but the fast lane can be such a lonely place.
