Tranny: Your going to want to drop the tranny crossmember if you want to get the engine out without pulling the tranny. Main reason is how close the oil pan sits to the front cross member..Also get the longest extensions you have (I think mine almost reached 3 feet in length and also a swivel headed socket to access the bolts to access the top bolts on the tranny I jacked my car up as high as I possibly could since I didnt have a lift that way I could lay down and use my arms fully extened also to help prevent me from hitting my head on the bottom side of the car. Take your time pulling everything apart and take breaks when you need them (Your going to want a lot) Also, as your pulling stuff apart definatly lable everything and put the parts in ziplock bags cause there is a ton of crap you gotta remove.
