In broad terms, the order of part removal is as follows:
Intake (you can leave the manifold on, but you'll need to unplug all the sensors, throttle body, fuel supply lines, etc).
Exhaust manifold
Distributor and plug wires (be sure to number them), sparkplugs.
Accessory drive belts (alternator, AC compressor)
Crankshaft pulley
Valve cover
Cambelt covers

If you don't have a decent place to work and the proper tools, you may be better off biting the bullet and hiring a garage to do the work.

Otherwise, purchase a Chilton manual for your model year. They're not the best manuals, but they're much better than winging it altogether. Bear in mind that the crank pulley nut will often be the most difficult to break loose.
