whenever I do work on the rear of either of my cars I support the rear with stands under the frame rails and use a jack under the pumpkin. That way the car is stable and I only have to worry about the rear end moving by virtue of my using the jack.97 TA, M6, JBA ceramic coated headers, Borla Cat-back exhaust, 1.6 RR, 160 Thermo, LT4 knock sensor, CAI, Bils, Hotchkis all around, GT rotors, B&M shifter, Magnecor wires, Granatelli MAF

When I did my clutch I didn't pull the torque arm. I just unbolted it from the trans and let it sit upward.

Yes, use a jack under the rear end. If not there is nothing holding it to the car but the shocks.
When I did my clutch though I just put jack stands under the front, and two jack stands on the rear end. One on each side of the pig nose.97 Chevy 'Raro Z28 M6- Ported & Polished LT1 heads,beehives,1.6/1.94 valves, 226/231 custom cam,K&N FIPK, 94-95 BBK shorty's,ORY,Magnaflow Catback,no cats,BMR LCA Relocation Brackets,Lower Control Arms,Adjustable Panhard Bar,Eibach Pro Kit,SPEC Stage 1,Walbro 255 Fuel Pump,30LB Injectors,Pro 5.0,Short stick,MSD 8.5's,NGK TR55's,LT4KM
