Got it all completed this afternoon, in a little less than 2 hours with a bunch of diddle daddling....

1 - Used a 2x4 (which fit perfectly in the top center hole) to support the window (seen in the shoebox photos), the motor bolted back in without any real issue But I did have to remove the door panel 3 more times to adjust wiring and even fix broken wires on my relays (Did the Relay mod last year to hopefully avoid the motor replacement)

2 - Aligning the motor was actually simple using a small screw driver to support it through the top hole for alignment, and tightening the bottom bolts first.

3 - A Finger Rachet also helps for easy tightening of the nuts on the backside.

4 - Loctite and nylon lock nuts to ensure it stays in place.

My old motor was so bad it would stop in 1 second even out of the car with nothing attached to the motor at all.

All in all not a bad job at all, if really motivated it could be done in 30 to 45 minutes.
