Default 1990 six speed tranny removal please help!!!!

I am trying to take out my tranny and have everything out and then I see what looks like a steel breather pipe on the top of the tranny . I can not seem to trace the pipe up to the engine compartment. Does anyone know how to remove the pipe so I can get the tranny out?
Also how are you supposed to get the nuts onto the bolts for the drive line support beam they where hard enough to get off!

Is that the AIR pipe from the diverter to the cat?

That's why a company is selling C-beam plate kits.

You can get your hand up there to hold them, and then a wrench to get them tight. I've got a 94 six speed, but it doesn't have this tube you mention.

Default Breather tube

Its a breather tube for the transmissiom. Its not connected to anything but is probably hung up in the web of harnesses above the bellhousing.
Loosen the attachment bolt on top of the xsm to make it easier to remove.
