That is unless you already started your battery relocation and are skeered to hot wire the seat as you aren't sure if 12volts will burn it up. LOL Then they are a PITA to remove.
I have mine out now. Converting the driver seat to manual. That power chit is heavy.
How are UCA's and LCS's hard? I took my rear end out the other week to do my gears, and it seems like it would not be bad at all.
I just remembered another chit sandwich kinda thing I did years ago 
I had a C-4 in a little 66 Stang
Taking it in and out ... and the tc in and out
Got that red stuff all over every where
What a friggin messy bunch of chit that was

We dropped my tranny once and I was on the tail shaft end. We didn't really have a good "routine" on this or a good balance. When my buddy pulled the converter out, the weight on the back of the tranny shifted to HEAVY. No tail shaft plug, so a quart or more of fluid ran from my hand, down my arm inside my sleeve, and exited my t-shirt at my arm pit. Now THAT was a fun time.

Why are you removing the plugs to do rockers? I've never had to do this ever, unless i'm missing something?
Its simple, I just put a socket on the alternator bolt and turn it from there.My least fav is tranny/clutch swaps on my back and bolting up longtubes.

The worst, most frustrating job I did was trying to get my brake booster back in after I had painted.

You don't HAVE to remove the plugs, but I've found it makes the engine much easier to turn over. I also did not know you could roll the engine over with the alternator...

Setting up pedestal mount rockers for the first time and determining pushrod length and valvetrain geometry is the death of me. I really hate working on the car PERIOD, I think I forgot that until the last few days when I've been working on it again.

filling hail damage... it isn't so bad the first time around, but when you find out that you have to do 2 or 3 coats on over 100 small dents, that's when the sucky-ness hits you..
surprising, spark plugs are actually kinda fun now that i can get to them easier w/out all the smog stuff in the way. even the driver's side isn't bad at all.
headers for sure, and that's cause i have shorties.
electrical gremlins SUCK, too!

Removing the seats is no big deal, two bolts & two nuts (and the power connector if you have a power driver's seat). But you're left with two threaded bolts that like to stick in your back the whole time. A blanket over them helps, but not much.
