Default 99 Z28 Camaro Drive Shaft Removal

I'm picking up a donor 99 Z28 and just realized I'll have to remove the driveshaft so not to burn up the trans when pulling behind my tow dolley.

I have zero experience with the camaro.
Any special tools needed?
Anything to watch out for?
How long should it take to drop?
Any tricks to make it easier?

I'm assuming it's straight forward 4 bolts, and with a quick pop with a decent pry bar?

That's exactly it. 4 bolts and pop it out. I believe they are 7/16 bolts. You're going to need to plug the back of the trans so fluid doesn't come pouring out since the front wheels will be up on the dolley.

Thanks guys. Sorry for such a dumb first question, I just wanted to be prepared in advance before going out and then possibly forgetting something.

I was just going to tie the driveshaft up in the trans tunnel with some bailing wire.
