Yeah generally in my experience its do-able. If you drop the swaybar off, and then remove either the tie rod end, or the lower ball joint, and of course the 2 bolts to the bottom of the strut and the one to the crossmember out they come.

Fuck man, have you actually looked?
You have to undo 2 bolts for the tie rod, 1 nut for the sway bar, 2 bolts on the bottom of the strut, 1 nut for the steering arm and 1 bolt and nut that holds the arm to the crossmember.

haha Nope that was the balljoint on the othereside replaced that, trying to get my car looking like new and feeling.
Na when i bought the car the dude wanted sport y suspension so he baought a pair of nylon bushes 
so he could go around the corner twice as fast haha.
the bushed are for were the control arm meets the crossmember, i put the othere sided in when changing springs etc but forgot the othereside.
So i am epecting a huge handling difference.
