I did it at the tender age of 18, and with the oil pan full of oil since the drain plug was "spinning."

Going back I made "alignment pins" from 5/16 dowel which tapered down to nearly a point. Didn't have the "catch" like the plastic clips above, but this and a sissor-jack below did the trick.

I think I would still do it this way today. Pulling an engine has its own special challenge - and mistakes.
