I would fully remove the driveshaft first. It is pretty easy to remove the driveshaft, 4 bolts at the diff. Then remove the transmission after everything else is removed

You need to remove the driveshaft first if the engine is in place. If the engine has already been removed, you can just unbolt the transmission mounts and slide the transmission forward off the shaft.

The driveshaft will simply slide out of the transmission.

As for the power steering and A/C compressor, what is the problem you are having? You will likely need a breaker bar to loosen the nuts.

Yes, take the pulley off of the ps, there are 3 bolts behind it.
