You do not need to put your new hard drive in the eMac.
Put the new hard drive in an external case, and plug it into the eMac.
Yes that will work, though I believe the throughput of the internal bus
is faster than an external firewire drive.
I have not worked on an eMac but I did own a late G3 iMac and I believe
both can be worked on without too much difficulty - certainly easier
than a clamshell iBook.
If you take the appropriate precautions as previously mentioned, and pay
attention to what goes where (an ice cube tray can be helpful for
keeping screws segregated) you'll be ok. Assuming you have some very
basic mechanical & electronic aptitude.
