You can do it with basic hand tools, wrenches, sockets and such, ohh, and an engine hoist.
Takig the hood off will make it easier. I prefer to remove the radiator so I don't smash it. On an auto I like to unbolt the torque convertor from the flex plate, leaving it attached to the transmission. You'll need to remove the inspection cover at the bottom of the bell housing and rotate the engine to get to all the bolts. Support the front of the trans with a rachet strap, 2x4 or something.
