The manual tranny is a bit lighter. Neither is really heavy (in my oppinion) but its an awkward thing to deal with laying on your back under the car.

empty of all fluids w/ the torque convertor, the auto tranny weighs in around 150 lbs. (That was the weight when I shipped out an auto tranny I sold a while back)
Yours should be drained already of fluid and what-not, so expect 150 lbs to fall on you

I've removed my tranny a few times now, genearly the rule was remove all the botls you see, then youget the fsm and check off what you've removed. theres usually a bolt left when you think you have them all out. A swift wack of a rubber mallet would break free a bunch of grease that might be sticking the tranny to the engine.

remove the trany/body mounts, then remove the engine/tranny mounts. Stupid little things like wires and driveshaft, and thats it.
And yes.. a wire harness could support the transmission and keep it from dropping

You got the speedometer cable, and the vacuum modulator vacuume line disconnected?
And you rotated the flywheel to get access to/remove the 4 torque converter bolts?
And you got the shifter **** off the stick in on the center console right?

If you two are laying on your backs, they best way for you to get it down without crushing skulls is to: Each hold the side of the bellhousing with one hand, and then the tail end with your other hand. If neither or you are under it it should be like lowering some weights. You can each bench atleast 75 lbs right
