Also judging by the rust already on your car, your bolts are most likely frozen and will not want to turn because of the rust/rubber combo. You might have to actually burn or torch the old bushings to get the bolts out. A grinder with a wire wheel is advised to clean up these bolts, or new bolts are suggested.

I agree completey with you...though with basic hand tools, it will probably take longer than a weekend, especially if you have the infamous siezed rear contol arm bolts.
If you decide to tackle the job, I recommend that the only bushings the most worthwile to do would be antisway bars, front control arms, rear trailing arms, and rear antisway bar endlinks. The rest of the rear bushings are small and firm. I dont think there is any real advantage to swapping them out. Dont get me wrong, I did...but only because I didnt want to waste the bushings by not installing them, and the entire suspension was torn down already.
BTW, Be liberal with the antisieze in the rear control arm bolts... so far mine have not siezed.
