Wires, brake lines, steering colomn, stuff like that. Just pick it up slowly and watch for anything that's still attached.

No... a couple of bolts under the dash, a few more at the firewall, any shifter linkage, and a coupler bolt at the box.

i have the gto off the frame. but i need to find some wheel dollies to put the frame on and roll it back into the garage.

well i almost have the body off the frame i have like 6 more inches to go to clear the wheels then it got dark. and i think im going to use my ASV (its like a bobcat) with the forks on it and lift it off. its just 2 miles away and the trailer for it is full of ****. but i should have it off tommarow (hopefully)

Be careful when lifting that you dont flex the body too much. Try not to put a point load on one place. If your lifting the body with a forklift like machine, try to locate the forks just in front of the rear wheels. Also make sure that the door gaps dont get tweaked as your lifting. Use 2x4's/4x4's under the floor at the bushing locations. You should also have the front clip off.
If I remember right you have a hardtop so you should be OK flex wise, but keep an eye on it..

Dont forget to unhook the emergency brake cables.

Good luck.
