I'd expect it to be the same as the normal conversion... minus brakes and suspension

It should be easy enough, like 2 conversions. Make sure you have enough trolley jacks etc to balance things...

2 sets of axels stands ermmm... i think you will still need a kitting kit.. well bits of it anyways(hubs.... maybe the driveshafts.... and 1 engine mount)
easy i would think to do my very labour intensive though.

Just remember you'll need the conversion kit plus the bracket for the PAS pump if your keeping it, also i'm not sure if the kit has the brackets for lowering the anti roll bar.
