Its pretty easy, and its pretty straight forward. Take off your y-pipe, manifolds, remove your plugs and wires, oil dipstick, and starter. Driver side goes right in (mine did). Passenger side I unbolted the motor mount and jacked up the engine. From pics I've seen, it looks like an easier job if you have an automatic trans. I did mine by myself. I didn't even jack up the rear of the car, just set the e-brake and jacked the front end frighteningly high in the air 
Just take your time and think things through and you'll be fine. Also, wrap your headers in an old bath towel to keep them from getting all scratched. You can safety pin the towel together through the bolt holes in the flanges. HTH

there's nothing easy about installing longtubes on these cars. it's gonna be a hassle and a half at the least, and jet hots arent known for going in easy. you better have some good help and lots of tools, search for the endless number of threads on here about it.
