Belly Tank Removal

I have an aluminum belly tank that I need to remove. The tank is sitting between stringers and bulkheads on each end. The tank is foamed in. How do I get the tank out without damaging the stringers and bulkheads? I was thinking of epoxying some wood blocks to the top and then pulling up using come-alongs. Are there eny chemicals that I could pour on the foam to dissolve it without damaging the fiberglass?

Thanks
