having to break the car apart for things I didn't really feel like doing but did anyway... I must say these cars are easy to work on... but the only problem is space. Either a wire or a hose is going to be in your way... only things to worry about in the case of the swap...

Wires,Hoses,and coolant... you take of those 3 and you should be fine with some confidence and a good manual. Just label all the lines... make sure your area is clean... and you it should be a breeze... I'd be more worried about the bearings issue than anything else...
