Acrylic is easy to drill with regular wood hole saws so plumbing togehter is not a problem.

When acrylic is done correctly, you aren't going to be able to unglue. The joint is likely stronger than the acrylic and will crack before the joint. You will need to cut it out and clean up the best you can with a router if you want to remove.
