Some questions....

When I pull the driveshaft out of the transmission, am I gonna wind up with tranny fluid all over the floor?

Everytime I ever pulled a trans, I ended up with fluid all over the place. I've found that unless you have the car up on a lift using a transmission jack, it's usually smarter to drop the pan so you don't have to deal with the mess.

Ok, I'm good with that. I might as well, since I'm sure it's time to change the fluid anyway.
