The proper way to do it is to empty the tank, cut the straps (don't try to unbolt them), bring the tank down.
I did the opposite, I've cut a hole in the floor. I did it because the car was on the street in the middle of winter with almost 3 feet of snow all around. The hole is easy to cut just be carefull. The return gas line connector broke with no effort, had to order a gas line shiped rush. It was a pita to replace the connector. I was cramped in the car with a nearly a full gas tank at -10C.
The insert was easy to replace but was really hard to put back the whole thing. I was carefull but the float doesn't go to full anymore.
It was not really good experience but I've saved about $700.
