Changing Valve Covers
How hard is it to change the valve covers? I was gonna pick up a spare set and paint them first. Is it as simple as just unbolting them and sticking the new ones on? (including gaskets and sealant of course)

Once you remove the crap that's in the way it's that easy.

I you plan on removing and installing them without scatching or wrecking anything, you better plan on spending about 2-3 hours removing and reinstalling all of the crap that in is your way. If your car has AC then the passenger side will really be a pain. On my '69 it takes about 10 minutes. The last time I had to remove mine on my IROC to change the rocker arms, the whole job took a little over 3 hours.
