I need to remove the drive shaft (LT4) and wanted to know how to pull it out. I removed the u-joint straps, support beam, etc.. the shaft should pull right out? what about reinstall, is there anything I should know?

Its straight forward from there. Just push the driveline towards the trans to clear the yoke on the rear end and pull it out. Be sure that the trans is at least level to avoid a loss of fluid.

You might as well mark the driveshaft and the position of the pinion, so that it is reinstalled the same way.
Some claim the drivetrain is balanced from the factory.
