  You can pull the engine and trans as a unit, but I prefer to pull the engine and then the transmission.

Here are most of the steps to pull the engine:
Remove the hood
Remove the intake and accessories
Remove the fan
Remove the radiator
Remove the "chatter" bars
Remove the exhaust system
Remove the front motor mounts
Remove the floor boards
Remove the bolts holding the engine to the trans
Support the transmission
Attach the lifting chain to the engine
Remove the engine.

To pull the trans:
Disconnect the transmission from the shift levers
Disconnect the clutch operating arm from the transmission
Jack up the transmission and disconnect the universal joint from the drive shaft.

If you are going to remove both at the same time, you will be better off removing the front clip first. This will give you room to maneuver the unit. It will also reduce the head room needed for the hoist or engine crane. If you are doing this in a garage with an 8'ceiling, you will probably have to remove the front clip or remove the front wheels and lower the car in order to get room to lift the engine.
