Came across another publication that might be useful, and here you can actually read and see what you will receive if you buy. Much more project specific. Don't forget these cars are constructed largely identical to Camaro: http://books.google.com/books?id=5APAzrP...aro&f=false
You ask about "lifting the body straight up". Again you're really describing process for a full frame car, which this Firebird is not. so that's not really how you do it on a unibody car, although you CAN. But in reality you can just separate the front subframe from the body and not lift it at all, except for access reasons...essentially you split the car in half at the firewall. This can even be done with engine/trans in place if you want, front suspension in place, rear suspension in place, doors in place...
To give you an idea, here's a link to a photo of a rolled-away, but otherwise assembled subframe (engine is removed in this photo...which is totally optional)
And another photo I found that sort of shows the concept of the process. Note engine/trans/front suspension are removed here (optional again...and this is an aftermarket subframe, not original), but the rear suspension is actually fully installed for this process. I believe that helps illustrate the difference between a full frame and a unibody/subframe car, from a disassembly/construction standpoint: subframe installation photo
Basically to do this first remove hood/fenders/front bumper, disconnect wiring, brakes, cooling hoses, etc. Support the body on jack stands, then it's just 4 big bolts up thru the bottom of the subframe and floor that release the 2 halves. Get these bolts out and you can just roll the front half of the car away from the back half of the car, with almost zero lifting. One guy can do it fairly easily with minimal help and little jacking.
Is this a recommended plan? Frankly it's hard to advise when I have no idea what your ultimate plan is. Are you going to full-rotisserie the unibody, or do you plan to just patch it and fix it while laying on your back? Probably makes a difference in what order you disassemble, and how far you disassemble.
