It's got all the usual bolts as a Dry subframe would do, but you have the extra task of draining the hydro and unscrewing the interconnecting steel pipes before you drop the frames.
The systems are drained via two ordinary looking tyre inflation valves on the very back of the rear subframe and the front to rear interconnecting metal tubes to the front are disconnected there as well.
You can drain the system by releasing the pressure at the valve with a screw driver or something of the like, but it will get pretty messy. I use a tyre inflation tube from a bike pump to direct it into a bottle (look out, it's at 300 psi... very messy).
The front is disconnected on the fire wall either side of the carburrettor. Since the system has been drained, there won't be any pressure left in the front either.
Don't leave it sitting on the drained hydro bags for too long either, put her up on stands once the fluid has been drained
