Instead of plywood under the engine and transaxle, I use a piece of fir 2 x 12, about 30" long ... being 'harder, denser' than plywood, it has less of a tendency to deform or have the jack platform 'dig in' so the adjustment for the CG (balance point) is easy by pulling or pushing while bracing ( or having someone else 'steady') the jack.
You may want to use several layers of cardboard scraps between the jack stand center-pieces, and the torsion bar tubes ... to keep from scratching or gouging the undercoating on the tubes. It will be damaged (most likely) by the bare metal, otherwise!
