Default Rear lower tie bar removal & $1300 b18b swap ?

Do you think it would be easy to remove my lower tie bar, or will the bolts be a huge pain like the other rear susp. bolts always seem to be on our cars??

Also (to kill 2 birds with one stone) how does $1300 sound for a full b18b swap into a 5th gen with a 3 month warranty? I am not sure what the warranty really covers as of yet, but what are your thoughts? (sorry to those who read this in the hybrid forum on me)

i got my b18b complete with everything for $1400, I'm gonna do the swap myself, this well be my second swap, but before i put it in i'm gonna change all belts waterpump thermostat hoses and spark plugs and spark plug wires, it sounds like a shop is gonna do the install for you then that is a pretty damn good deal.

o and the tie bar thing shouldn't be to bad, it doesn't hurt to try and take it out, does it?

Thanks all of you for replying
now i have to decide whether or not to sell my 93 four door in awesome condition for a beat up hatch to generate some cash or not. Leanin towards keeping my sedan just because it has no leaks, etc misc. little stuff that will probably need fixing on anything i buy for $1500-2000
what you think???
