It's fairly straight forward to be fair. I did mine when I had a Si and I'd never done one before.
From memory you need to jack the front up high enough to slide the gearbox out, remove both front road wheels and pop the ball joints. Lever the driveshafts out the gearbox and tie them out the way. Remove most of the bolts (leave a couple in 'till you're ready to split it) and the starter, disconnect the clutch cable. Put a jack under the sump with a block of wood to protect it, then remove the mountings at the gearbox end. Lower the jack slowly 'till you've room then put another jack under the gearbox, remove the last bolts and pull it apart.
I bought a clutch alignment tool and it saved a lot of hassle, they don't cost much.
