Is this a 1 day job?

This weekend I want to get some work done on the car. The plan is:

-Chuck W. motor mounts, Energy tranny mount and crossmember bushings.

-Remove old VC, upper and lower intake manifolds and install new ones.

-While the intakes are off, install electric fuel pressure gauge and mount in dash.

Is this something I could expect to get done in a day pretty easily? I only have the one day and would like to have this stuff wrapped up. I have all the gaskets, tools and whatnot. Are there any other hardware pieces that I'll need to replace (ie - stuff that connects to the intakes). My brother will be helping, so that will move things along a bit better.

If you got somebody to help and the right tools it should be doable in a day.

Personnally I wouldnt rush any of it, I would take my time and do it right.

You know there is a saying "There is never enough time to do it right, but always time to do it twice".

Then again my car is going on 1 1/2 yrs in pieces. I tend to take my time.
