SOrry i dont know much about this, but if its as easy as i've described, i could take my good one out, get a busted one from SFS and help an AWD guy out. Lemme know...

Yeah bro it's easy. There is a couple of threads you will find that myself and ES3000TT posted about pulling the VCU. After you do it once it's cake, especially if you have air tools for the big hex nut under the black plastic cover. Also a word of advice. It's also easy to remove the VCU while the tranny is in the vehicle-- So don't stop your conversion-- Just install the motor and tranny if you like. You can still get to everything and not be at a work stoppage. PM me if you have any questions.
