You are quite right to be cautious about working under the autobox with the pan off. The pipes that do things are often only push fits in holes, and each pipe may hold the pipe before it in place, with the last one being held in place by the pan!
Having said that, if ever you get the chance of a freebie autobox to play with, take it. They are amazingly clever things to take to bits, and usually they will come more or less completely to bits with next to no tools, sometimes just by tipping them up to let the whole epicyclic geartrain slide out! Good fun. So is trying to put it back together again!
