Remove the torque tube, install engine then install the torque tube. I realize that you probably don't want to drop the rear cradle but it will keep you from damaging the pilot bearing. Just my opinion, of course.

A lot of people change clutches on the ground, in fact it may be easier to do that way. I'm sure you can raise the car enough to clear with Jack stands, and you only need to pull the drivetrain back enough to get the engine on its mounts. Good luck with your build!
