Anyone have tips on how to make this any easier?

Finished tearing apart the X last night in anticipation of receiving my driveshaft on Friday. It ended up being much easier than I thought it would be. About 1.5 hours to drop the exhaust, rear driveshaft, trans crossmember, and remove the Tcase. Now it just sits waiting for UPS...
