it all depends on what you have for equipment. When i removed mine i did it with a lift so we just let it drop through the bottom. But you can lift the whole engine and trans with a engine hoist and chains. Although alot of people will also drop the whole engine/trans out the bottom by just jacking up the rear of the car and putting it on stands. But again its all up to you. But the engine and trans will come out together.

As far as the cables. Not really sure why you are having that big of an issue with them. Mine just came right out.
