If it's your first time, estimate 3-4 hours to get the tank out and 8-10 to get the stupid thing back in.

It's not too bad, just go ahead and take everything out. Remove the tires (at least the passenger) and get the rear as low as possible.

When I changed my fuel pump I dropped the rear with only leaving the LCA's on. Makes it easier for for bolting up the rear after you get the pump installed. Just make sure you get car up high enough cause the fill tube on the tank gonna need some space.

Be safe and good luck!
