Like the title says I am swapping out the original T56 today for my built one and updating the hydraulics with the newer style/ drill mod, and a spec stage 5 clutch setup. problem is I am at my mother in laws and I am doing it from the ground. Any tips I am not entirely new to the removal of the trans done it before for the clutch swap only I did it on a lift instead of the ground never pulled the clutch slave cylinder though, just wondering if you guys could give me a few pointers that might shave of some time?

Get lots of extensions and a couple swivel joints. I usually break a couple. Don't force the tranny back in. If it doesn't want to go something may not be lined up quite right. Get it as high as you can. I've done it quite a few times on the gound and the higher the better.

It's an extral step but it will save alot of time I always unbolt the trans from the bell housing then unbolt the bell housing from the engine. It's an extra step but it will save you a ton of time because the two top bell housing bolts will be completely open and save aton of time.

Yep, pull the trans from the bellhousing first, then pull the bellhousing from the motor.
