Is it easier to drop gear box cross bar with engine in

Putting new mounts on gear box 1098 have all bolts loose
I had engine out and ready to go in would it be easier to steady the gear box when cross member is dropped if I put engine back in first. Or is there an advantage to doing them while engine out.
