The drivetrain comes out in one piece over the top.
If you are prepared. I mean all replacement parts are there in your garage, one weekend is sufficient. But considering it is your first time. Plus you want to be extra careful and not rush things. Also you may want to examine the innards of the engine you will be buying and also clean all parts you remove and install. I will budget at least two weekends and a few nights.
I forgot to add one tool you'll need, an engine stand. It is very helpful. Put the new engine on the stand and open the sump and riming chain cover to examine the chain, sprocket, and chain guides.
I got both of my lift and stand used locally for less than $250 combined. I paid $1000 for a used 94cs engine ($900 plus $100 core at 69k miles, a great deal four years ago) when I did it. Kept the old engine (damaged with colliding valves) by forfeiting the $100 core charge. Later I recouped closed to $700 selling the damaged engine as parts.
Wife won't like it because you will be spending too much time in the garage.
