Tommorrow I am gonna do a simple drain & fill on my tranny to keep the fluid fresh. Does anybody know the quart quantity of the pan for this procedure on a 1993 V6 LE Auto?........

Do the differential as well. Should be another ~1.7qt or so for the differential. I'd recommend that you change out the strainer/pan gasket using an ATF filter kit that's about $13-15, like the Fram ATF kit. See what's in your transmission pan. BTW, cleanliness is important working on transmissions. No lints.
It's best to check ATF at operating temperature, car level, to make sure the ATF is at the correct HOT level. Then measure what you drain out. First refill a quart, then using the empty quart bottle as measure.
If you're not using a boutique ATF fluid like Redline or Amsoil, I'd recommend WalMart's SuperTech multi-vehicle Mercon-V. Good stuff. This is the Ford approved version (Lic #5081001) that's also suitable for T-IV and D-II/III applications. It's more shear stable than typical Dex/Merc fluids. (When using an ATF, always make sure your application is on the label.)

I did the differential last fall, & I change out the filter once a year every fall, this is just a simple drain & fill?...........
It depends a bit on how long you let it drain. When I did my Camry there was a steady trickle for quite a while; I let it sit for a few hours, so I don't really know when it stopped. If I remember correctly, it took a little over 3 quarts to refill.
And as JohnGD said, it's a good time to do the diff too!

Right. I don't know what type of maintenance or schedule you're on. But it's great that you drop the pan every year and get a new strainer in there. The new gasket on the strainer also helps make sure there is no suction side leak!!
