I changed that line on a 1997 v6 5 speed. It does come out and you can remove it up out of the engine compartment. Granted you may have to wiggle and jiggle and remove a few hoses etc.
Tim's video should greatly assist.
Super soak those flare nuts for a few days in in the rust belt. The engine compartment side should come loose with good flare wrenches. The filter may not. I ended up cutting mine off and replacing the OEM fuel filter at the same time.
