Default How hard is it to remove and reinstall engines in 08+ 3/4ton 4x4 trucks?

I got 4 trucks that need their engines removed. I've done NBS swaps and several 73-87 c10 swaps/LS conversions. Only one NBS 4X4 and it was kinda tough, but I didn't have much tools or sense back then. Now I got these 4 NNBS trucks to work on but the big catch is i'm a 1 armed bandit (atleast for the next few months). The swaps can't wait that long, I need the pay and the company needs the trucks and cheap labor ASAP. Is there anything difficult about swapping on these truck compared to 2wd or older trucks?

More electronics, have to either remove core support or take all the accessories off the front of the engine, but an engine is an engine....some just more tedious than others!!!

I believe GM lists it as a 16h job on NNBS, 19h if accessories are being reused.
