Not sure if this is going to cause anyone consternation, but I have done this on other builds and it works nicely for me.
In the first picture the central point circled (as noted) I used a jack stand to support the engine while using the transmission jack to back the tranny out. Then I lowered the car a tad bit more and put the dense rubber spacers in and lift the car back up. Compression was minimal and the engine sits soundly on the pads. I have seen others use 2x4's and other small pieces of wood. So I think there are a few schools of thought on supporting. Personally I like the rubber as it maintains solid but soft contact.
