Some jackass broke the passenger side door handle off my car and broke into it, I replaced it and it wasn't a big deal, probably took about an hour from start to finish.

I can assure you the drivers side will take longer than an hour due to the alarm switch being mounted on the lock cylinder. I removed my door handles when the car was painted, and it was no fun. It is hard to slip your hand up in their due to the rods that actuate the inside lock, and opening handle, mounted in the middle of the door.
There is a C-clip that holds the switch to the lock cylinder, plus a clip with a rod that actuates the release to open the door. The clips take off easy, and get lost, so an assistant makes it easier.

When you take the retaining clips off it helps to place a magnet near by, it will catch it when it takes flight and save you the time hunting and searching for it.
