Take it your operating on your "Brick".......if you really want to do both at the same time......(just dropped an AW 70 from a 90 last week..) you can make life a lot easier if you remove the fron end (everything between the fenders).......not as far to lift and not a real steep incline to lift it out. Worth the extra time.

As other post stated.......write down/ draw pics, diagrams, etc. so all goes back together the way it should.....especially electrical connections.

A lot easier just to drop tranny.......get "Brick" as high on jack stands as possible. Use a small hydraulic jack to support tranny (AW's weigh a ton !!!) and help drop. Hint: you have to pull it back a bit and then twist the tranny to the right....to clear the starter bulge on the bellhousing.

Good luck in either direction.
