You guys are making this harder than it has to be! When flying an airplane in 121 without the autopilot the Pilot monitoring does most of the work so you can focus on flying the aircraft. During the interview I am sure you will exchange the controls with the PM while copying holding instructions (they want to see that you can figure out the entry) and if this is not the case then they will copy it for you and help you with the entry since you are focusing on flying the aircraft. They PM will perform checklist, set altitudes, heading bug and courses as long as you call for them. The PM will do everything but fly the airplane for you...
