A floor jack, a couple ratchet straps, a pry bar, are a necessity, unless you have help. A 4' extension and a wobble will make it much easier to get to the top bolts...

Nope not really.. The trans/block will have some pins in it to line up the bell housing.

All you have to do is unbolt the 3 converter bolts, unbolts the bellhousing bolts and undo the 2 bolts on the crossmember. I don't know if you can do it with the tcase still on or not because mine was off at the time but I didn't have to fully pull my trans out just got it back far enough to get the converter in and seated
