If it's an aluminum housing ('62 and on), about 95lbs.
I have read that the cast iron case added 150 pounds to the Powerglide transmission, and I have also read that the aluminum Powerglide weighs about 95 pounds, complete. I have moved an aluminum Powerglide by hand, and that sounds about right. Based upon these two statements, the cast Iron Powerglide should weigh about 245 pounds...
The 1971 Chevrolet Nova with the 250 cid came optional with the Powerglide automatic transmission. The gear ratios on a OE Powerglide are 1.76 in 1st gear, 1.0 in 2nd, and 1.76 in reverse.
Chevrolet & Pontiac were the only brands to use to Powerglide. The rear engine Corvair used a modified Powerglide. Pontiac used a similar transmission in the Tempest although it was called a TempesTorque'. Some sources claim Pontiac and Oldsmobile used the older, cast-iron case Powerglide when the Hydromatic transmission plant burned in '53. Most if not all Pontiacs of the '60's and '70's that have a two-speed automatic transmission do NOT have a Powerglide; they have a Turbo-Hydramatic model 300 transmission; also used by Oldsmobile.
The listed weight is 210lbs.
The shop that rebuilt my '54 Powerglide recommended Dexron III.
The PowerGlide feature is credited to the General Motors company for it's inception. The PowerGlide is a type of two-speed automatic transmission found on many models.

It is a 2 speed automatic transmission that General Motors used from 1950-1973.
About 550 pounds. This would assume aluminum heads and intake, and a powerglide. And it would be closer to 575 with fluids.
About 125 pounds
The PowerGlide is a very primitive transmision by todays standards. It does not have a Torque Converter clutch. So there is no control for it.
