I did this on a late model bus, which has the same heater but minor differences in layout. As I recall, the only pain in the neck was feeding the wiring harness through the holes in the chassis frame in order to get it out in one piece (which took as long as everything else put together). Of course, don't forget the underdash relay/fuse parts and the sensor in the heater duct tube toward the front of the van. Otherwise, it was not a very difficult job (and no need to roll the van in my opinion).
