Would like advice to be able to finish removing my 700r4

[L98350]

Hi, I have most of everything out to be able to remove my 700r4. I studied other threads but there are two things I couldn’t get. I need to remove my cooler lines. I figure I need to drop the trans quite a bit to do so, without it attached to the engine. Best way to remove the lines? (I have the correct size flare but wrench but there’s no room to put it on the nut). Then I need advice on how to remove transmission end of tv-cable. It looks like there’s two bolts, then the bracket comes out, then the part attached to the actual cable should slide out. I can’t take it out the way it is. I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks for your time
