Probably not a very good idea at all to support 400+ pounds of weight on the front of the crank.

Really, I probably have about everything I need disconnected to remove the engine, and I do understand where you guys (ladies included) are coming from. My cougar is my primary source of transportation at this time, and I have a lot to do. If all goes well, I hope to be replacing the engine and transmission in about a year from now. Then I can paint the car (when the engine compartment is empty) and replace the wiring harness. Right now, I'm just getting the rest of the car ready for when I do. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be as far as I am if it wasn't for all your help, so please keep them coming!

If you pull the engine, you could also pull and drain the torque converter and all of your trans fluid would be fresh and new.

 
I removed that front bellhousing plate and the torque converter had a plug I took out to completely drain it.

Some torque converters have it, others don't.

So, does anyone know how many quarts of transmission fluid my car takes? I guessing 5-6 quarts.  Thanks!

a little google search confirmed that if the torque converter is drained the capacity will be 11 quarts.

88turbo,
            I tried a search and I guess I didn't type in the right words. I had no idea the transmission took so much fluid. When I took the pan off, I noticed how dirty it was. So, new fluid and filter are in order. Thanks again for your help!

The 84 Owners Manual says the AOD holds 12.3 U.S quarts.
