Default 1975 Ventura 8.5 Rear End Swap

Found a 1975 Ventura 8.5 rear to swap for my 68 Firebird. Planning the swap in the following order and wanted additional direction if I missed something…
Remove brake hose, e-brake cables, and driveshaft. Remove rear spring plates and lower shock mounts.
Hoping to remove rear spring shackle bolts and drop the rear end and rear springs down (leaving front springs attached) and roll the rear end out the rear of car. Reinstall in reverse order to include have driveshaft shortened.
Is this possible? The rear spring shackle bolts look like a very tight fit…
