Default yanking an 8.8, the process?

Looking to get an 8.8 rear soon.
How long does it take to ****** one out of t-bird? The clean removal (unbolting)? The rip and tear (i.e. sawzall through the axles & anything else in the way).
How much other **** is in the way? Exhaust etc.

Just a little life hack... Their rear cradle is attached similarly to ours... You can drop the whole cradle out, detatch or or sawzall the driveshaft and basically you have the whole damn thing. Sell the rest since you don't need it.

When I got mine the guy pulled it. Took longer to put the car on the hoist. 4 bolts and cut the shafts with a torch.
