Default Modifyling radiator surge tank to put hose into driver side

How hard is it to do this? I see lots of these tanks for sale used, and they all seem to have the radiator hose entering the tank on the passenger side. I'll need one that enters the driver side. I've heard about modifications to change this arrangement, but don't know how to do it. What's involved? Do you simply separate the tank from the bracket and flip the tank, or do you actually remove the inlet tube, plug the old hole and drill a new one for the tube on the other side of the tank?

I'm assuming until I hear otherwise that you just flip the tank on the mounting bracket. Is the tank just soldered to the mounting bracket? I'm assuming that a radiator shop can handle this work? has anyone had it done, and do you remember what the cost was? Thanks.
