Not terrible. You do need to drop the compressor though. Its got a clamp near the alternator, one or two brackets then 3 huge bolts that hold the compressor to the engine. Be sure to keep track of which bolt goes where with what spacers.

For me it's a 2 person job. I am not comfortable holding the compressor with one hand and unbolting it with the other

You will need new sealing washers for the compressor. Or a new compressor would be smart if yours is old

Read the fsm for oil requirements
