It's a fun job.
I've done it three times now.
The worst part is just leaning over the damn car!.

Yes it has been fun, although I thought I was never going to get the two steering rack hydraulic lines loose. Also found out that my cheapo Harbor Freight electric impact wrench was no match for the harmonic balance bolt with about 2/3 of the drive gear teeth breaking off, so I got to get another impact wrench.
A trip to O'Rielly Auto Parts to get the 67005 harmonic balancer puller and the HB was off in about a minute.
Camshaft going in is a Texas Speed lo-lift stage 3.
The soldering iron is only used to stop the bleeding from cuts when a wrench slips.
(Just kidding).
