Yes and no. The connection above the transmission will give you the
most headache. I don't really have any tips in this department, as the
installation is fairly obvious once you're under there, just be
careful with that rear connection. There is a rigid line going from
that point up to the slave cylinder and it's very easy to bend... if
you kink it you get to buy and install a new one and I almost think it
would be easier to just take the whole transmission out to do that
job.

When you put the stainless steel line in, make sure you tie-wrap it
up. There's another line running through where it goes and you just
tie-wrap them together. If you leave it hanging (it's tempting,
because it's in a secure channel and isn't going to fall out), I've
heard it can rub on your frame and wear the epoxy away. Then your
frame starts to rust making you a very, very unhappy DeLorean owner.
