If you have access to a tilt bar, use it to pull the engine and transmission out after removing the transfer case. I took the automatic transmission out of my truck twice before swapping in a 5 speed, and there is not much room to pull it out the bottom. First off, its hard to clear the transmission tunnel at the firewall, and second, the crossmembers don't give you much room to move it front and back either. Also, with some average size jack stands, you'll still need to put them on 4x4 wood blocks 2 high to get the frame up high enough to slide the transmission out from under it.
Take it from someone whos been there.... if you can pull the transmission out the top with the engine, do it.
And welcome to the forum!!
