I've taken several shrouds out and put them back in after modifying them for a Vortex air rammer setup. Not that hard to do, I left the car on the ground to do it. I think it took about an hour total off/on.

I think it depends on how experienced you are around the hood. I don't have too much experience and it took me about 2.5 hrs. There was some posts in this forum that really helped me out as well. Don't think I would have gotten it out without the help.

What shroud are you talking about? The radiator fan shroud or the air box shroud?

I did a shroud out install of the vortex. Go check out my install page at http://www.c5tech.com/mods_vortex.htm for the details. It's not complete at this time, but it does cover the steps up to shroud removal.
