Lowering vehicle with driveshaft and torque arm disconnected

I have a 99 camaro 3.8 I have the transmission removed but not enough room to pull it out from underneath the car. The car is sitting on four 4 ton jackstands (extended all the way). My issue being that the car is too high as of right now so its sketchy to lift just the front more, I thinks it might slide off the back stands. I have 2 ramps. So is it safe to lower the rear end onto the ramps with the driveshaft and torque arm disconnected so I can lift the front to gain clearance?

I set wheels under the wheels. also would use jack stands plus my two shop jacks at times always having multiple backups to catch the car if it went down.
