Not that complicated. If you can turn a wrench and follow instruction, you can do it.
The Intake Manifold has 5 (8mm) bolts at the front, and 2-3 (13mm) bolts at the back (depending on the year) - holding it to a bracket. Remove them all. Lift the manifold off - do not drop the seals down the manifold. Lay a towel over the manifold. Hang the manifold from the hood with a bungee (to keep it out of the way.) Now you can get to your plugs and wires. You will need a 6 inch extension and a 5/8 deep socket to remove plugs.
