Yeah, it would be easy with everything out of the way. But, to be sure, if a shop were doing it, they would only drop the tanny end as much as needed. I definately would remove the entire shifting ass'y and even think about removing the e-brake.
Why? Well, this is a good time to check out everything in the tunnel and get it all cleaned up making sure that things are not interfering with each other and are secure so no rattles when it's all back together.
Just for the archives, I found a clutch cable tube loose from a broken weld on a car a while back. Impossible to reweld, so I used a u-clamp and some nylocks to hold the tube to the side of the tunnel. I ground off the excess threads and when the carpet went back, you couldn't tell unless you knew where to feel for the little hump on the driver's side.
This was actaully on my 914, but I believe the 911 tunnel is very similar. There is a pic of the tunnel in the tech article section, I think under trannys (d'oh).
