Steve it is not very difficult, but you will need a helper.
The only thru holes are the wiper and washer fluid. The glass is held in with a urathane glue. The old stuff will need to be cut off the metal trying not to cut into or scratch the paint or you will have to prime those areas. Once you cut the old off you will want to vacuum all the glass out and clean the area where the urathane goes. You can pick up supplies at a glass shop or a body shop. While there you can ask what they would charge for install, as it might be cheap enough not to go thru the hassle on your own.
Once you have your area ready to go, cleaned and primed both body and glass you can apply the urathane and set the new glass in. You will want to tape it down for a few hours and let it set the amount specified for the urathane you use. They are all different so you will want to find out before time. Before cutting out the old get an idea of where it sat so when it's time to set the new one in you get it the same. You can get the wiper, washer line and defrost tabs after she has set. Good luck
