That's where I had them- both times I changed my fuel pump. What a shame! I had them on the subframe, right "in front of" the LCA's. Make sure you block the front wheels!

Removing fuel tank is pretty easy. #1. dont smoke... lol. done mine a while back. Need to remove exhaust from converter, disconnect hanger, let exhaust drop, remove exhaust pipe and muffler, remove track bar and brace, remove hoses and lines, get rust in the eyes, drop tank on forehead, it will slide out with filler neck intact, I think thats when I kicked the car, need a new front fender anyway, pretty basic but had a bad day.
