I removed the tanny this way as well.
I found that the valve cover was not an issue
and that if you detached the tail pipe from the exhaust manifold
this allowed the end of the tranny with the overdrive to free itself from
the tunnel.
I also use a jack to lower the tranny.
...I also replaced a twisted and broken Annulus from the overdrive this way
while the
tranny was hanging below the car.
