Well, actually depends on whom you ask...some have found it easy, others say it's a real pain. I think it's a pain with AC but once you get it done you'll be glad. Search for threads and you'll find some links to good instructions with photos.

Do yourself a favor and replace that 33 year old blower motor while your at it. It's located BEHIND the heater core Also, it constantly runs on low even when the heat/cool is turned to off. When the bearing starts to go, it will drive you nut's.
