Default 94 trans Am door and rear hatch replacement

I recently bought a 94 trans am project car and need to replace the rear hatch and driver side door. Has anyone replaced a door before? Seems like it might be a little bit of work with the electric? I’m sure I can manage the hatch but if anyone replaced one, ideas would be great.

You can disconnect all the electrical connectors inside the door and fish it out where the boot is, that's the easy part. The fender will have to come off to access the hinges, and the door is heavy. I've done it myself, using just a jack to support the door.

The hatch is much easier with two people. I've done it alone, but it was a PITA.

Same as above. Door is quite heavy and awkward if nothing else by yourself. The hatch is no fun solo. If at all possible have a helper.
