IAC replacement time

Im kind of new to the fuel injection stuff but i have a 96 f-150 302 that dosn't always want to idle. So from what i have read it is probably the IAC valve. I have bought a new IAC but my garage is full so what im wondering is 1) how long does it take to replace (so i know weather i can get it done before dark or not) 2) is the IAC the thing behind the intake tubes on the front of the motor? Thanks in advance for all your help.

The IAC valve is real easy to change out, 30 minutes tops. To remove mine I just remove the intake tubes from the throttle body to get access to it and unbolt and unplug it, nothing to it.

Ok great thanks for the quick reply. I figured that was all there was to it I just didn't want to get stuck working in dark and snow.
