It's not too hard and as long as you don't touch the TB butterfly, you shouldn't have any idling issues. The only real problem I has was with some of the vacuum hoses as they are pretty tight.

 

Oh, and don't trap the rubber piece near the oil filler cap when you put the plenum back on... you will have idling problems then! ;)

It's really easy, nothing to worry about. Touching the butterfly won't cause any harm :) Just undo all the nuts and remove the 3(?) hoses and you're good to go. Just be careful not to over torque the bolts back up when you're refitting, you could crack the plenum.
