Make up a set of blocks like this for under the tires. Not having jack stands under there makes it a ton easier to maneuver. You can reach the bellhousing bolts by dropping the tailshaft down and using a long extension and swivel socket. Muscle the trans off of the jack onto a large piece of cardboard to pull it out on.

Before pulling it apart mark the flywheel and torque converter with a paint marker. Will make it easier putting it back together.
