I've changed clutches and transmissions a couple of different ways. Either method works equally well.
The two floor jack method;
One jack under the transmission and one under the engine with a suitable block of wood to distribute the load.
The floor jack & hoist method;
The hoist supports the engine from above and the jack goes under the transmission.
The I also take a pair of longish 12mm bolts and cut the heads off. Installed in place of 2 bell housing bolts I use these as guides for installing transmissions and for removing them as well.
This takes all the drama out of trying to balance the transmission on a floor jack while lining up the input shaft and the passenger side drive shaft.
With the right tools a clutch can be done easily in a day, so two weeks should allow plenty of time for a careful job.
Good Luck
