Default Is timing a hard thing to do?

I'm acquiring a white 91 Integra 4dr LS Autopimptastic for free and it just needs a distributor. Is it tough to do the timing on it? I can get my hands on a timing light and just wanted to know how much work will be involved. This is a car where I pulled the distributor from over 6months ago for the 93teg I had so I know everything is fine other than that.

The timing gun is not a problem for most,...
It's the actual labor thats hard for me to do.
Like whats involved, what you should and shouldnt do, etc.
