It's very easy, all you will need is possibly some needle nose pliers and a basic socket set or maybe just a screwdriver depending on how easy it is to reach. You can use the pliers to pop(it should just pop right off) the end of the cable off the carb and slip the other end off the gas pedal. There should be 1 large sheetmetal screw retaining the cable to the intake manifold. Remove that and then pull out the cable.
