I've never seen that mustang world write-up, but good lord, talk about making it more work for yourself.

Along with these two, it should be no problem. Getting the retaining nut off the strut without an impact wrench can be tricky... just get a BIG flat-head screwdriver and have someone else turn the wrench, then it'll be simple. Don't even bother with a Hayne's or Chilton's manual... except to double check torque specs.

Remember to take your time and good luck!

No, not really. Most of the stuff is at/over 100 lbs. I put a lil locktite on the bolts for the brake calipers and the ones on the struts. If you took the tie rod off (which I did) I think it's only something like 45 lbs tho.
