I would advise you to take lots of pictures of every step and mark every electric connection that you open. I have to emphasize this. On an other note I would say that this is a fairly straight job. The manifold is held by 6 M6 screws that you use 10 mm socket on. They go straight down into the head and are a bit hidden under/behind the manifold. Be careful not to over tighten them when you put it back together. Torque to 10Nm (7.5ftlb). That is about the force you get with a big screwdriver. But I would strongly advise you to get a torque wrench for this job.
And one more thing. You might want to open the hatch in the firewall, that is behind the seats, under the carpet to get somewhat better access to some of the bolts and get some light in under there.
