Is replacing a tub/shower combo DIY'able (self.homeimprovement)

Homeowner with a decent amount of handiness but wondering if I’m going to bite off more than I can chew. Is it worth it to try and remove the old shower tub combo and replace it with a new one pretty much by myself? I realize this is a bit of a loaded question and can’t really be answered without knowing my skills but if anyone with skills can share some tips or steer me away from attempting this that would be much appreciated.

I attached the listing for the product I’m hoping to use so double check any material answers I give.

Pretty sure it’s fiberglass

Tub is fiberglass as well (current one and replacement one)

Tub is being replaced

Currently no shower door

I would like to do a glass shower door

House was built in 1981

If plumbing needs replacing yes

Not sure about the replace all question

I’ve done a few projects at my house, garbage disposal and dishwasher replacement. Toilet replacements, laminate floor installation. Tool wise I have a pretty well stocked garage from miter and table saw to drills drivers etc.
