I dropped the tank on my wife's '99 this past winter without too much drama. I used liquid wrench on the tank straps before getting started, and they unbolted just fine. No broken fuel line connectors either. Just take your time. The tank is plastic, and very light once it's drained. I jumped the fuel pump and was able to bang on the tank to get it flowing again. I then used the pump to empty the tank into a can from the line that connects to the fuel filter.
This was a car which has been in either Wisconsin or Chicago...so it's seen plenty of winters. I had no issues with fasteners.
