Default Questions about (do it yourself) mods

Have decided on my next set of mods, short throw shifter, delete plates, and underdrive pulleys. I just have a few questions about installations and what I will need other than basic hand tools. I read that the delete plates can be installed with basic hand tools, but how bout the underdrive pulleys? Will I need a impact gone for installation, or can this be done with basic hand tools also? As for the short throw shifter, all I will need is basic hand tools and a jackstand right? thanks.

well havn't ordered anythign yet, but for sure within the next couple of days...MGW shifter because I have read great reviews on it on this site, even thought I really wanted to get a Hurst...And thinking of the steeda delete plate and underdrive pulleys.

Just really currious if I can just use a jackstand for installing the shifter or am I going to have to get the entire car lifted up. Also am wondering if I need an impact gun for the pulleys? b/c that is going to be hard to come by..
