Ringlee's advice is great. The only thing is, you can leave the fuel rail alone. Just move the manifold far enough back so you can get in there. The manifold takes about 10min to remove once you've done it a few times. Leave the throttle body on as well. Just pull off the little PCV hose from the flame trap housing, and perhaps the ones at the throttle body (depending on how far they'll flex).

Also, good time to check the oil trap and flame trap if you're so inclined... heater hoses are easy too. This sounds like a huge job but in reality it is nothing at all.

Careful of the throttle cable and transmission shift control cable from the throttle spool. You don't want to break them. Basically if you use care you'll come out fine.
