Hard? No
Lots to do? Yes.

Remove upper and intermediate intake. Remove valve covers. Remove rocker arms. Use magnetic tool to acquire the lifters and remove them. Remove distributor. Remove serpintene belt. Remove water pump(After draining the system). Remove A/C condensor. Remove radiator. Remove timing cover. Remove timing chain. Remove cam gear and slowly pull out cam. Install new cam WITH ASSEMBLY LUBE, and then have fun putting everything you just spent 2 hours removing/Taking out back on/in!.

2 hours for you usually means 4 for me

LOL... I think my first cam took me close to 5 hours. The last one I did took under 3, but it was also a real easy one.
