For my motordrop and Max's first swap we used 1 jack and two stands. Just unbolt suspension and subframe and tranny with the jack underneath. Put the jackstands under the body. Lower the jack, get a couple friends and pick the car up over the engine while rolling back. Place the jacks back underneath. Fairly easy and very quick especially if you don't have a hoist.

I tried to tell someone this a while back and they all disagreed I just laughed, Ha.
This is the only way I do it I am building a complete front and rear sub frame to bolt up when its ready to race this summer.
