While you have it apart, I would also get a new pilot bearing for the end of the crank where the tip of the transmission shaft goes, they are only a few dollars and you definitely dont want to be doing the labor twice. (insist on a good quality Timken brand or OEM bearing, do NOT use anything from China,,,)

Like they say above, it is not all that difficult, just a matter of supporting things and dis-assembling/assembling everything in the correct order, along with getting the new clutch aligned (the clutch kits usually come with a plastic alignment shaft - use it! ) Its a little time consuming, I would allow all day if you have to do it in the driveway and dont have the hoist.
(I have supported engines b4 with a chain and 2x4 or pipe across the shock towers, kind of need to adapt it so it cant slip or shift on you)
You can also go the the nearest public library and print the procedure from their Mitchells repair manuals.
