pictures are good, take notes on sequence during tear down, ie: if you had to do X before Y, you'll need to do Y before X on the rebuild .. also, don't rush, but do it as quickly as you can (ie: have all parts, gaskets, etc ready to go), even your young memory will fade fast ..
(ps .. at least through some commas in when you post, was a bit hard to read .. damn kids.. LOL)

Haynes manual for Ford automatic transmissions has a pretty good section for the AOD, with lots of pictures. I used the same section for an 4R70W from a 97 F150 and the pictures were a great help.
An Arbor press makes the removal of retaining rings for spring packs on two pistons inside the transmission cake. I cant remember what the pistons are at this time though. The lip seal protectors are a great idea as most rebuild kits only give you one set of piston seals, if you mess up that seal you have to wait until the transmission specialty shop is open before you can get a replacement.
