It's pretty straight forward.
Save yourself a huge headache and drop the exhaust system out of the way. It'll reduce the time needed to do it by at least 2 hours.
Who's short-throw are you going with?

I had some difficulty getting the wedge out that holds the shift **** in place - it was in pieces by the time I got it free. I didn't bother to get a new one when I put it back together, seems fine.
I used a bungee cord to hold the boot back out of the way when I was driving the pin out of the shift rod - not much room to work in there. Hopefully your pin will come out as easily as mine did - just a few taps and it was out.
The rubber boot that covers the top of the shifter linkage gave me fits - it had all kinds of gooey glue on it, so it was hard to get off. I used a whole bunch of WD-40 to clean it off good before reinstalling it.
