Removing 98 ground effects from a wrecked car, what tools will I need?

I just found a set of ground effects from a wrecked car, but I have to remove them. I will be removing the sides and rear, but I mainly need the side for my RS with a broke piece. The car is up on blocks right now. So I shoudn't need to bring a jack, but what else do I need and how do they come off?

I'm supposed to be going this evening so any help would be awsome!

Its 8 or 10mm on the bottom side everything else just snaps in place.

I had to leave to get them before I got this. I think it was a 7mm and something to pry the black plastic push pins in the back out.

I just took everything I could think off that I might need. Usually on the Camaros everything is 7 10 13 15 18 mm. Sometimes there are other sizes, but most of the time thats what I use. I even have a drawer in my tool box where I keep only those sizes in sockets and wrenchs because I use them so much.

No problem it's been a while since I messed with mine, you can get the side clips off eBay or here 25 in a box it's a ford part but excalty same, GM charges $8 each and there's 8 per side.

Thanks for the link. Are 96 RS different from 98? My car is a 96 RS, but the ground effects were busted. I think its missing these though. (I know the front is different, but I only got the sides and back. Also, I am changing the front clip to 98+)
