I use the bracket/hooks that come from the factory. A leveler is good to have but I never used one. I start one bolt in the trans mount and then start one motor mount bolt. Then remove the bolt in the trans mount and move the tailshaft while using a short punch to line up the other motor mount.
My cousin who worked at a Chevy dealership when these trucks were new said they just drilled out the hole in the mount and used a washer.
