Idk if you have already decided to do whatever it is you were going to do. I think the easiest thing to do is to get the car up on four jack stands, makes things a lot simpler. Then get the jack under the tranny and take the bolts off and the couple connections and that's about it for taking it off.

The additional room is very nice but this can be a lethal suggestion unless additional efforts are in place. I recommend placing the car's wheels or another different under the frame and floorboard if you don't have wheels to use then put each on top of two parallel pieces of 2x4. Try to get them tall enough to leave only and in or two of clearance on top.

thanks in advance

I don't know that you could still use it. You need to find the diameter of the output shaft on each and how many splines are on them first.
