Randy if you are very carefull you can do this job with both lines attached, i have done it a few times, its possible to get the strut tower assembly to lean out of the fender and give you access to pull the strut out, there is just enough length in the lines but you have to be very carefull that you dont pull it out to far otherwise it will put pressue on the lines. removing the stearing shaft is helpfull here but can be a problem to get it out, the last time i did this i left it in place and delt with it.
