Loosen the nuts on the differential flange & it should drop right down.

yeah... use the ebrake, put it in gear, or you can put a screwdriver in between the flange & end of the tranny tunnel for leverrage.

Once you have the tranny out, and all the wires / connections unhooked from the engine: pull that sucker out! Yes... an engine puller "cherry picker" will work wonders.
