Best Approach for removing a 283 with tranny

[daveshilling]

What is the smartest way to disconnect the engine/tranny from the driveshaft and remove both using an engine hoist? I'll be swapping from my original 1958 283 to a 64 283 with side engine mounts and most likely a 700r4, and I need to get the current setup removed.

I don't have a fancy lift and the cab is staying on, so I need to know what makes the most sense for a dirty old truck.

If any of you gents can explain it like I'm an idiot, it would be much appreciated!
