Removing NP205 from 71

[Madbomber88]

I'm replacing the clutch and therefore removing the transfer case first. Anyone done this and have any tips? should I take the transfer case off from the tranny adapter back? Or should I take it all out as one unit (very heavy). The bolts that hold the transfer case to the adapter were too easy to take out, almost finger tight. What is holding it all together, the bolts to the crossmember? Just want to know when it is going to give to make sure the transmission jack is there and taking up the slack.
Any info is appreciated.
