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.

Remember the definition of an engine hoist:

TWO-TON HYDRAULIC ENGINE HOIST: A handy tool for testing the tensile strength of ground straps and brake lines you may have forgotten to disconnect.

Place some large peices of cardboard (flattened boxes) under the engine bay, and/or get some cheap kitty litter for the spills.

Good luck.
