The actual swap isn't too bad and you can probably handle it. Try to get as complete a tool set as you can get. Engine lift + leveler. 2 jackstands. Floorjack that can lift the frontend of the car.

I'd also have somebody knowledgable on standby to give advice and help.

You might also consider removing the trans, bolting it to the engine, and stabbing both into the car at the same time. It's a lot easier to mate the two pieces out of the car than in it.

Remove the hood. Makes the whole process a lot easier. Use 4 guys to take it off.

Good luck with it.
