Well, auto or manual? An auto is more of a pain in the ass.
As for easiest, there is really only one way to do it. For a first timer, buy a repair manual and devote at least two days of down-time. If you have all the tools needed and some mechanical intuition, it's not too hard.
Tip: when separating the lower control arm balljoint, hit the side of the LCA with a hammer (at the end where the stud passes through.) It will pop the balljoint stud out without having to hammer directly on the stud and you don't have to buy a puller tool and will not mechanically damage the car.

the car is a manual, i just got the tranny out today, nothing broke so far.... had to remove the lower sway bar and alot of hidden bolts and stuff, and they were extremely tight, dont hve air tools so it kinda sucked... next have to take off the clutch and flywheel then put the no ones back on and then the tranny and bolt everything up and put shit back together
