Just did the job a few weeks ago. Yeah, basic jack stands will do, raised up several notches. Make sure your emergency brake works well or do something else to chock the back wheels. Using four jack stands so the back wheels are off the ground also works.

I had to invest 15$ in a 20" long, 1/2" drive extension rod from Sears to get enough torque on those upper bolts. Lotsa fun that.

You're going to have to undo the two pipes that carry fluid to and from the radiator. Be sure to cover the ends to keep the pipes clean and it doesn't hurt to reclose the bolt holes on the transmission immediately.
