If they are aftermarket (and they usually are) they just attach with screws under the car. These may be rusted, in which casae you might need to drill or chisel the heads off. Since you aren't putting them back on you don't have to worry about destroying the fasteners. for more help you can check my site: http://econofix.com

The running boards are bolted to support arms that are either bolted to the frame or welded to the frame. yes, being a 1997 there will probably be rust coming off from underneath the blazer when you remove them, but if there is no rust on the rocker panels, (under the doors) then the body will be ok. You should be able to unbolt them yourself, unless their welded then you'll have to have an auto repair shop cut them off with a torch or cut off wheel. good luck
