Depends on what you mean Gary - from personal experience any rubber
component on a GT that has to do with glass is horribly difficult!! -
both the windscreen and hatch window rubbers will go in eventually with
much dishwashing liquid but then putting the trim back is another matter
(ask Dave Houser!) and personally i consider quarterlight rubber
replacement up there with alchemy on the difficulty scale!
in fact im the first to admit that i have yet to do it successfully
What specifically are you thinking of? - engine mounts? A arm bushings
etc or just trim - 
If you want an easy one to start with - do the headlight gaskets - hehe
