1983 W123 Driveshaft work

My car is vibrating in such a manner as to suggest the center bearing or its mount are probably shot. I suspect that the entire driveshaft should be removed for this work hence I'd like to fix everything. Some questions on what I need from FastLane. A drive shaft bushing? I see it at the site, do I need this, what's it do? The driveshaft support boot. What is it and where does it go? Flex discs, same frt and back?
General procedure I was thinking of following, undo rear flex disc and center bearing support bracket. Does the drive shaft slide apart at this point? Then I was going to take oof the front flex disc. I'll paint some line-up marks on the driveshaft for re-assembly. Sounds easy here but I think I'm going to be one dirty, unhappy puppy underneath the car. Is having a car up on 4 jack stands stable or dangerous?
Thanks for any and all advice.
