Ok, as a total amateur mechanic, how difficult is this job? Could I pull it
off? The most horriffic aspect is the removal of the exhaust manifolds,
somehow, I envision total bolt breaking nightmares!! Anyone with a word of
advice?

You might need to find a good mechanic. It dosen't sound like you have the
tools needed for this job.
There's no need to remove the exhaust manifolds: You should pull the
transmission not the engine to swap the clutch - it's *alot* eaiser. You
might be able to do it on ramps but it'll be a real pain. Nothing really
difficult about it, though, if you take your time.

??? Why would you remove the -exhaust manifolds- to replace the clutch?
