Before I tackle the transmission fluid I'm going to drain, flush, and refill the coolant. In an effort to retrieve all the old coolant, after first warming up the car with the heater on, I was going to slightly lower the rear end to encourage the coolant to follow gravity. Further, as I fill the coolant back up... I was going to lower the front end to encourage air to follow the path of least resistance. Do you believe that front/rear lowering will cause enough shift to reconsider an alignment (again, when everything is buttoned up)?

Finally... all 4 wheels are on the car... and unsupported. Will that cause a strain on any suspension parts or the axles? Should I remove the wheels? Likely I'll have the car on stands for the next month.

Thank you, again, for your consideration.
