You can expect to drop the bloody gearbox on yourself and they can hurt if they land on the head 
Other than that, just make sure you take EVERYTHING off and don't leave anything, e.g. reverse switch wires, clutch cylinder, gearshift, earth lead, etc. etc. etc.
Another thing that really is good is if you have the luxury of a hoist, and a 400 pound russian bloke who can lift the box into place with the point of his big toe 
Oh, and don't forget the drain the oil as the FIRST thing you do, otherwise you'll make a biiig sloppy mess when the tailshaft comes out and you tild the box backwards. Use new oil when you stick it back together, especially if it hasn't been changed in 20 years. Also, take a good look at your clutch while its out, a new stocky type clutch kit doesn't cost that much and can save a lot of bad language later on by having to do it again. Law of averages will say that if you don't do the clutch now, you will be in 3 weeks time.
If the rear main seal in the engine is gone, it may be for a reason, namely that the bearings are worn and the crankshaft is getting all sloppy.
Good luck!
