Replacing drivers side door glass

hello everyone

Looking for some help here. I have to replace the drivers side window glass in my 1955 88 4dr Sedan (huge crack in it). I have a replacement glass sitting in a new channel ready to go in. Can someone tell me how to get the old glass out and the new one in? Does the vent window have to come out in order to get the glass in?
I've never dealt with window glass removal/installation before and I can't seem to find much info on the process for this particular car. The manual doesn't really address glass removal and I've searched the threads on this site but didn't really come up with anything on point. Wasn't easy finding the new glass so I'd rather not guess at the process and potentially end up with another broken window.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Well i am sure the cost of installing it is reasonable at a glass shop.Plus if it gets broke by you then you have to find another one.Peace of mind should be worth something.JMO
