Probably the most important item on the list. With a horrible floor that has had the tiles pulled up, you'll need a wife at the rear with a ratchet hooked the the jack to get it to roll back.

Or if you like living on the edge, the cheapo Harbor Fright jack can lower it... Just keep your noggin and breakable or crushable body parts outside of the frame rails when stuff is moving.

It's a lot like a 2wd pickup, only really big and really heavy. Make sure it's strapped to the jack well before you take the last 2 bolts out of the bellhousing.

I've pulled a lot of auto transmissions, and I have to say, if you're not experienced in the process in general or properly equipped, you're probably further ahead to pay a competent shop. It's not that it's a hard job in itself, it's actually pretty simple, but a mistake can kill you, like Unilevers posted...
