The key is to plan it carefully before you start.

As I got older the most important thing I did was to rent a transmission jack from a rental place. Makes it almost effortless.

Also, don't forget a good quality clutch installing tool to aline the clutch plate. I used a cheap plastic one once and it was worthless. A solid one is better. I have an input shaft of an old transmission that I use.

Other than that, it's pretty much as smoked68 and truckdude239 said.
