Removing fenders/doors

How hard is it to remove the fenders and doors from a 3rd gen firebird?

I'd like to get them painted because there are scratches and rock chips in 'em.

I did the doors on an Iroc before. I just unbolted the hinges and disconected the wiring. The doors are heavy, so have someone there to hold them while you undo the last bolt.

I've done fenders on a 4th gen, but not on a 3rd. I'm guessing that they are prety much the same. There should be a few bolts along the top of the fender in the engine bay, and I think one in the under the part by the door. You will probably have to unbolt the inner fender too.
