The first thing to do is get your hands on a manual. It will have the step by step instructions you need.

Now for a couple tips:
Drain the trans before pulling it. Just pull the pan and let it empty out, it will save some mess.
Be careful not to break the distributor. It is in the back of the engine, and you have to let it tilt to the back to get the trans out and it can hit the firewall.
Change the trans mount while you're at it. THey cost about $25 I think.
Check your universal joints. You'll have the driveshaft out anyway! Good time to inspect them fo wear!
A long (24") extension and a universal for it are really handy for the bellhousing bolts!
The most important thing is to take your time, and think out every move you make. If you pay attention taking it out, it will be super easy to put back it!

Good luck!
