Fairly easy just make sure that you hear the lines click into the filter or you will have gas spraying onto your exhaust. The Wix is almost half the price of the AC delco and they are the same part.

You can by bleeding the schrader valve off the fuel rail on the intake. Most times I forget and just end up letting the fuel leak out while I replace the filter.

By the way, the WIX filter is exactly the same as the more expensive AC Delco. Actually WIX makes the AC Delco filter for GM. Just thought I'd let you know since the WIX will probably be about 50% - 60% cheaper.
Don't worry too much about the fuel line pressure. If your car has been sitting for more than a day, there should be very low pressure left in the system. Just push in the schraeder valve and place a rag in front of it, just in case.

OR, let the car sit without running for several hours, and most of the pressure will bleed off by itself. No matter what, you'll get some fuel running out of the lines when you remove the filter, it's just better when that fuel isn't pressurized....
