Jerry, I just dropped my engine and tranny (by myself, thankyou) and would definetly recommend removing the rear valance. You should certainly have some scraps of 2x4 or even better 2x10's around to help with jack placement and to get your stands up high enough. I actually made a trolley of sorts out of 2 pieces 0f .75in.plywood with 4 heavy duty casters. The cart is roughly 24in. x 24in.I had already removed my exchangers and muffler, so I took 2 2x4's on the flat and screwed them together and then screwed them to the edge of the cart so that the exhaust valve covers were resting on the 2x4's. Then my floor jack simply slid under the cart and was easily removed when the motor came out. I hope this helps you some.
