I'd pull them together. You'll find it quite an easy process using a leveler, so you can manipulate the angle as you hoist it out of the engine bay. If you have some scrap 2X10's or 2X12's laying around, you can build a simple "stand" to set you motor on until you're ready take it to the shop. Just build a rectagle box, just wide unought to set you oil pan into. For that matter, stack up a couple old tires to set the pan in.
