Never done a swap like yours but I've had the drive shafts made as needed or LS swaps.
So if you want to keep your drive shafts and no AC maybe get the Dingo mounts. Bolt the frame/engine mounts onto the engine and move the engine into position as needed to reuse the drive shafts.
You may have to drill new frame engine mount holes. Not a big deal.
Depending on your lift (if you have one) you may need a CV rear drive shaft?
