If you've got a regular car jack that's of decent size that's all you need.  
Remove your back up switch wires, speedo cable, shift linkage, axles, front 
exhaust hanger, and clutch cable.  Then the front, back and trans side motor 
mounts, and you can tilt the whole deal enough with the jack on the oil pan (with 
a woodblock) to slide the trans right out without damaging (stretching) any 
hoses or wires.  Lay on your back and with the help of a freind, slide it back, 
and then hold on and drop it down (don't drop it on your head or tilt it 
cause fluid comes out the speedo hole and smells like ass), slide out and have the 
freind take the trans off your chest.  

I broke a pressure plate once between rounds, and got it changed and adjusted 
before the next round.  I'd say 45 minutes or so.  I switched to a regular 
hex head bolt on the axles though for quickness and was able to use an 
air-ratchet to remove them and snug them back up, which saved me prolly a good 20 
minutes of fiddling with those triple square bolts.  Anyway, if I was doing it in 
the garage, it'd be a Saturday afternoon type deal.  

Good Luck
