As long as you can get the car high enough, you can usually get the trans out without having to remove the exhaust.
Removing the exhaust normally just makes it easier to get to the Bell-housing bolts and the E clips on the cooler lines.
The trick is to make sure you have about 2 feet of extensions so you can hit the bell-housing bolts on the top while being at the tail end of the transmission.

Some people aren't careful when dropping a tranny. They just put the jack under it and drop it without looking at all sides and you can catch the transmission on an o2 sensor or something else.
Remember a "wobble" socket is also a great thing for helping with those top bell housing bolts, o ryou can use an impact wrench swivel joint (that has only one swivel, instead of 3.)
