Hardest part is bleeding it after you're done.

Some tips:
1.) Replace the coolant and ATF hoses and hose clamps while you are at it.
2.) Stick a sharpie in to stop the ATF lines from leaking. You'll still lose a quart of ATF.
3.) If you haven't done it before, take the grill off the day before or something so that you know how to do it.
4.) Don't forget to rinse the overflow reservoir out.
5.) And I did a flush/drain, twice, with the heat on full, to get all the crap out of the system before I put a shiny new radiator in.
And there are lots of other threads that go into more details.
