unplug the fuse to your fuel pump, and try to start the car. This will get rid of the fuel pressure in the lines. Then disconnect the battery and go to town.

yea it is safe to do that. with the two hard lines off you can take them off.
there is no need to plug the lines. only a little gas should come out.
when you take the rails off a little more gas will come out of them.
But it is perfectly safe just dont light a fire near the car
