Does the shifter make it hard to get the unit out?

Not at all. I actually have a shift knob that is further forward then the stock shifter and if the car is in neutral, 2nd, 4th, or Reverse it is even easier. I was a little worried but a fellow del Sol/empeg owner told me that it will fit without a problem.
