Cat Conveter replacement

OK...its that time to replace the cat.I noticed it had a dent on the belly side of it and some stuff probably got to the muffler as well.I am going to put a direct fit OEM type cat back on it.It seems to be bolted on rather than welded.2 questions:
1)Is there any thing special i need to do as i am taking the old one off and installing the new one.I'll cut off the old brackets.And...
2)Will i be able to do the job if i ran the car up on car ramps?Will this give me enough roo to do the job?THANKS GUYS

You sure it's bolted on both ends?? Mine was bolted on 1 end and welded on the other.
You should be able to get an exhaust shop to do it for ~$30.....better than trying to weld on your back.
