I just received a hint from my tranny guy to use the steering drag link as a support after the tranny is removed. If I remember right, there is about an inch or so clearance between the bottom of the pan and the drag link. I may stick a wood spacer in there and give that a shot. This would give me more room to move around under the car and not to have to worry about knocking into a support post.

It's been awhile since I've done a SB trans removal, I think you can jack the motor up enough(remove the distributor cap before removing the trans ) to slide a short piece of 2x4 wood stud under the oil pan and drag link Thats what I do with the BB cars when having the trans out, that or use a racthet strap wrap around the torsion bars under the oil pan lots of ways to skin that cat
