Thats what I did, had to get the car about 19 or more inches off the ground to get the drivers side in. Not too bad at all. Don't forget the ground wire, it does have to be undone. And, I undid the sensor on the top of the oil filter as well. I also found it easier to remove most of the AIR tube on the drivers side as well.
I did passenger from top, driver from bottom; loosened and dropped the subframe for clearance, removed groundstrap and starter. With my jackstands, I could only get my car ~16" off the floor.... damn, I hope there wasn't an easier way I somehow missed
