Is it difficult to replace the suspension airbags on a 1995 Mark VIII?

I found two Mark VIIIs in the junkyard today. One has good front suspension airbags. They are still inflated. I was wondering if removing them is difficult close to impossible or easy? I saw only one long bolt on the bottom and several on top. Am I missing anything? When I go to install them, will I have to remove the ball joints or will it just slip in? I am sorry for not continuting it on the other thread but I plan to hit the junk yard again tomorrow. One of the Mark VIIIs has the complete rear taillight assembly (1995). Just figure I should mention that. It is located in the junkyard called You Pull It on North ave. near Cicero ave in Chicago (price is $28). :F

It is very easy. If it is your first time doing it. It should take you two hours. Make sure you turn your air ride switch off in the trunck.
 
You guys forgot to mention how to remove the air from the bag. I struggled with one bag for over an hour. I had to remove the ball joint and sway bar in order to get it out. Then I twisted the valve located on the side of the bag and pressto the air left the bag. The other side took me less than 15 minutes to remove.
