Make sure the door's width is the same at the top, middle section and bottom. If its just a little, I would plane it so that its sq. Try to pre hang the door to a jamb on the bench, then screw the other pieces together and install the jamb. The hinge side must be plumb. Lets hope your old door isn't warp. Shim and fit the jamb to the door and not the other way around like a new door.that's the most painless way if you have never hung a door before. For me, I would attach the jamb then cut the gain for the hinges and fit the jamb to the door. it requires a bit more experence but a takes a lot less time. I hate fitting old doors to new openings. The door is usually not sq. god only knows I have done enough to pay my way through college years ago. Now I am still doing it. good luck.
