The job is a veritable piece of cake. You may be stymied by the screws that keep the rotors on...if you strip the heads out, just drill the babies out because you don't need them - the lug nuts will hold the things on when you put the tires back on.
Otherwise, everything comes off very logically...goes back on just as easily. I replaced a hub on my car in about 20 minutes the first time I tried it (disclaimer: I DO build race cars, so I have a bit of an edge...but I would think experience from working on such strangies as Jags and Triumphs would serve you quite well).
As Andrew noted, slotted rotors are okay. Drilled ones are actually bad. The purpose of the brakes is to slow the car by dissipating heat energy. Drill those puppies out and you have less mass by which to dissipate the heat. Plus, they do eat pads.
