Not bad. Remove the floor, change to a header panel for wood floor or modify 3/4" lower (Mark-K sells a piece). Buy the wood cross sills, wood, and strips to hold the wood down and a bunch of bolts

I know you want a precision seal if you can find one. Most old seals are hard so I simply cut them out on the inside to make them easier to remove. Most glass guys I've watched use a suction cup on the inside and have rope inside the seal and pull a section out at a time for the seal to fit over the window lip and lock it in. Much easier with two people...
