Not true. Do some searching for installing the sye and you'll find out everything. Oh and the hanes manual is next to worthless. 
is my favorite research manual.

You can do a SYE install with out removing the TC. Search around, there are lots of write ups on the project.
You also do not have to remove the tranny to remove the TC. Haynes manuals are firestarters for me... Ive always found them close to worthless for just about any car. Chiltons is a little better, IMO. But a FSM would do the trick.

As others have said it can be done in the Jeep but its easy on the bench. It wont have a zillion parts fall out when you pull the cover. One of the main things is being sure the pickup tube dosent fall out of the pump. I have a bunch of photos I can shoot to you this evening. You will need a good pair of flat tip snap ring pliers. When you assemble be sure the gasket surfaces are cleaned with brake clean before using rtv. Wipe the housing out so it quits dripping fluid.
