Mounting an engine.. where do you put it?

I'm going to make the three engine mounts needed to drop a 20v in my mk2.. which brings the question- how do I position the engine? I'm going to hang it in the bay while I fab up the mounts but what do I need to take in to consideration? I'm going to..

- connect up the driveshafts
- ensure the engine is level and won't foul the bonnet

asides from this is there anything else I need to worry about? I'm making up the down pipe later so exhaust won't be an issue. any help appreciated.

I know you're a whizz with the fabbing but you can buy the mounts ready made.
I can't remember why but I think one of them is the usual one upside down but it's been a really long day so I may be talking complete arse
