Just as simple but you’ll need at least a Haynes manual for clearances, torque procedures/values and valve timing.
Keep your bolts organized as some of them vary only slightly in length.

I’m not sure if the pressure and suction (oil pump) seals come with the gasket kit. If not, you can get them from a Saturn dealer.

One difference, the oil pump is mounted at the crankshaft timing gear so you can’t prime the pump separately. You can temporarily bolt the starter up and jumper it to a battery while it’s on the stand. Even with the pump packed it can take a minute or so to fully prime. You might be able to shorten that by tilting the engine on the stand and adding a filter full of oil before you fill the crankcase.

Leave the plugs out, watch for air and oil coming up at the lifters. You can monitor the oil pressure sending unit with an ohmmeter for approximate pressure.



Other than that, not a whole lot of difference.
