Yeah, if anyone's near Ohio I've got the transmission and a pile o' parts for it now.
So about removing this thing...
-What's the name of this part?
-What's the name of the removal tool?
-If I just use a punch, which way am I rotating it to remove (from rear, clockwise, cclockwise?)
-Any special instructions for removing it, aside from locking the transmission so it doesn't rotate?
There is a locking tab that needs to be bent back then you should be able to use a drift and a hammer to remove the nut. Looks like a regular lefty loosy thread.
I don't think it's necessary to remove the output gear to remove the intermediate cluster but if you plan on using it on your new setup you may as well.

I do have to remove it for what I'm up to, but now I'm also confused (not hard to do since this is the first gearbox I've ever seen let alone touched).
What is the castelated main shaft lock nut that I need to go at?Under the rear bearing housing is the castelated main shaft lock nut. A special socket socket is required to remove it, or you can bubba it off with a punch and BFH. Once that is off the rest of the gears can be removed from the shaft and the t-box will separate from the gearbox.
It's the part you have circled in your photo.

This is the special tool :-

Though to just remove the gearbox away from the T. box it's not necessary to remove it.
Just the 3 nuts hidden by the intermediate gear.
