 Gentlemen,

 I just performed this most difficult operation, on my back, in my garage.
 It is a pain in the ass!, but it can be done. 
 John, if you are going to replace the drive gear then concider rebuilding
 your transmission while it is out, I did it with Dan williams kit and a
 new output shaft from Dan. I used his road race kit which comes with the
 bronze blocking rings and all of his highest quality components. He
 provides a 25 page rebuilders manual which is a big help.

  Trans removal, I pulled the drive shaft, trans mount, and shifter then
 used long extensions to get the bell housing bolts. The upper trans bolts
 are the hardest part of this operation, its up to you to decide whether
 or not to drill holes to get the uppers. You must loosen or remove the 
 manifold or header bolts. If you plan on doing the clutch it would be
 easier to yank the motor and trans together.

 Good luck,
 Bill.
