If you have both bolts out and fuel lines disconnected should jus lift up in front may be a little snug on rubbers may have give it a good yank.

ill be honest but im not entirely sure what that is lol all i disconnected was the hose up top in the tank, the wire connector for the console and the quick disconnect on the bottom left of the tank. with those undone i was able to move the tank around enough to be able to run my new wires, etc

The left side fuel gauge/cap has 2 wires that exit the bottom of the tank near the horn/top motor mount. Unless you want to do a tensile strength test on those wires the connector needs to be unclipped. Crossover line, dash with speedo, tank vent line, all need to be disconnected. Then a little wiggle if it hasn't been off before.
