With an automatic I find it easier to leave it in the car. Sticks I pull them together.
Make sure to support the tranny if leaving it in the car. Put a small jack or blocks of wood under the pan.
Make sure to take the bolt out that holds the dipstick to the engine.
As others said make sure all the ground wires are disconnected.
Also, the gas lines, the clips that some cars have that hold the tranny cooler lines, etc.
You'll propably find something that's still connected when you get ready.
As you're pulling stop and look for attached stuff.
