It can be simple or hard...I should probably write an FAQ on this
actually (like I should do a lot of different things).  If you really are
as inexperienced as you say, IMHO, an engine swap is not for you until
you get some experience.   If possible, perform all the other maintainance
on your vehicle as practice:  brake jobs, brake lines, tune ups, clutch,
CV joints, wheel bearings, suspension, electrical...the usual. :-)  An
engine swap is like many maintainance jobs all at done at the same time.
