Default Auto Antenna

How hard is it to replace an electric antenna in my 80 vette? I tried to drop the drivers side exhaust but it's all welded. Can it be done another way? Can it be held in place with just the nut on the top?
Thanks

i removed and rebuilt my antenna on my 79, i just unbolted the rear hanger on the muffler and pulled it towards the center of the car and held it there with a bungee cord, ( i think i dropped the spare tire down for more room) it was still a tight fit working on antenna but it was do-able. wear safety goggles, when you start undoing it road crap starts falling 'good luck.
