i would start by unclipping the wiring harness and labeling everything as you go. they have these number stickers that i found at a electrical shop that help organize everything & make it way easier when your installing everything. other than that dont b in a rush & start hacking stuff up to remove it & you should b good

or just take the entire harness off and leave everything plugged in. but first you'll need to drain and purge all fuel, oil, and coolant lines and resaviors.

disconnect the lines and let it drain into a bucket that won't disolve from the gas.

I would definitely label everything as far as the harness goes. Don't rush...that only leads to mistakes or forgotten connections. Research first, then start the removal.

Yea your speed sensor on the trans and the drive shaft dust collar are keepers. Look up positron's KA pull on here the guy did a great write up, I pretty much followed his when i pulled mine.
