The big thing I would add is be careful when trying to line up the gearbox support bolts on top of the gearbox. They have a step in them to help locate them in the bracket but do take a bit of effort to get started, and you can cross thread them.
If you get the bus high enough you can do it with the carbs on but you need to tip the gearbox end up on the atv jack to get the shifter end over the torsion bar tube then gently raise the back up into the engine bay watching all around to make sure you dont catch on anything.
You also need the rear tin off as the oil filler tube without plastic filler top will only just go past the rear valance, then you can push it the little further forward to get it properly seated. Watch the cables for the alternator too.
