You should be able to do them with the engine in the car. You will probably want to remove the headers in order to get at them. I've done driver's side without removing the header, but can't remember if I had to attack from below.
Definately get rid of the stockers. When I was running 12s, I tore up a couple. I even broke a welded one. (Probably not welded up good enough) Now I am running the poly driver's side, and haven't broken it yet. I used to look at it at the beginning of the season, and it was always broken. Not sure how long it took, but don't think the last few lasted more than a season.
Just so you know, I beat the crap out of my stuff, so you might get them to last longer, but I couldn't.
P.S. You should be able to get away with just the driver's side.

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.
