MUCH easier with a leveler on the engine hoist and a decent floor-jack.
Consider getting this video as a primer. It should help give you both an idea of what's required.

There are no special tools needed to remove the engine. But at times it is easier to remove things like the PS pulley bolt when you have air tools (impact wrench).
First timers also usually stuggle with the pull-type clutch. Here is a short video that also shows how to disconnect it.
