The passenger side isn't to bad but the drivers side was a pita we had to loosen the brake booster.
Its by no means hard it is just a pain in the butt. If you have a KB/whipple you have to remove the blower for the passanger side. The driver side we loosened the brake booster enough to slide to the side and it came right off.

+1. I did mine during my whipple install. There is no way I would do it after already having a whipple or kb on there unless I was already needing to remove it for something.
The passenger side went on like butter but the driver side was a PITA. The main part that sucked was getting my clutch cable unhooked.
A little tip.........If you do it make sure you put a towel or something down under the brake booster to catch the power stearing fluid that will run out, have a bottle of ps fluid ready to fill that back up, and put a towel on your new cam cover while you wiggle it into place so you dont ding it up.
It was a weekend project for me. Saturday I replaced the valve covers and then I spent Sunday morning bleeding the brakes (I took the whole master cylinder off to make the valve cover install easier). What a PITA! :cuss:
Good luck. Thats all I got.
