If you have the AIM, you can do it. The hard part is done, so what's the worst that can happen? Maybe won't start or a minor leak. We can help you with that too. Here is a link to removing the engine, just reverse the sequence. Take your time and have fun.

It seems more daunting than it actually is. For the most part the plugs are attached in certain places and keyed a certain way so that 90% of them you can tell where they go without actually knowing.
Hoses are simple too. They either leak or they don't you won't hurt anything if you don't put one on right and fix it promptly.
have a little confidence , it's not all that bad to do.
