Depending on local emission laws, some shops wouldn't touch it.
I usually cut off all clamps with an air grinder and buy new ones. You can also over tighten them and break them off. Then you have to separate the converter from the header pipe. Some have a flange, some are tube to tube slip fits, which are no longer slip fits on a car that age. If you are working on your back on the driveway with just hand tools, lots of luck.
You may also have to deal with a tube that goes upstream to the AIR system. They have universal kits for these at NAPA and other places.
