Its not hard to do at all. Since I have true duals, and didn't want to cut up my car, I dropped the tank. You only have to remove the panhard bar, and the support bar above it for the tank to clear the rear end. If your exhaust is going to be an issue, then you may want to consider the trap door method.

I did mine on a saturday, racetronix kit with the hotwire setup, I dropped teh tanka dn removed the catback, really wasn't that bad. Just have the tank empty, because it will be too heavy if it's not. It's a 2 person job too, no way you can put the tank back in alone, trust me on that.

sure you can, you just need a floor jack to help get it up in the air. I just used the floor jack and a piece of wood until I could get underneath it, and then I put the straps in place.

I dropped my tank and re-installed it by myself when upgrading the fuel pump. It would be easier with 2 people, but it's not impossible. A lot of people cut an opening to access the pump instead of dropping the tank. Here's a link to cutting the hatch on an LT1. http://www.geocities.com/formulapower2/fuelpump.html

Search this forum for dropping tank and you'll find a lot of info. Racetronix recommends dropping the tank so you can flush it while you have it out.
