Including the time spent telling my son in law how we were going to remove 
the transmission it only took 45 minutes.
I f I remember right Paul Telger's site has some good instructions on it, 
but basically here it is.

1) Disconnect the battery.
2) Remove the passenger side glove box.
3) Remove the radio and center support.
4) Remove the transmission tunnel.
5) Unbolt the driveshaft /propshaft (depending on which side of the pond you 
are).
6) Disconnect the slave cylender from the transmission and move it out of 
the way.
7) Remove the starter.
8) Jack up and support the engine.
9) Unbolt the transmission mount.
10) Put a cheap between the transmission and the floorpan.
11) Remove all of the bolts holding the transmission to the motor.
12) Pull back on transmission to disconnect it from the engine.
13) Drag the transmission out of the car on the tarp to keep the interior 
clean.

Installation is the reverse of removal.
