PB blaster spray is awesome for breaking rusted things loose. Other than that It should be pretty straight foward. Just think through everything that you will have to do before you do it.

what year is the car?
where are you located?

if you can jack the thing up and soak everything in pb blaster overnight.

if you're removing stock suspension from a old civic and you're upnorth, i see thepurchase of new bolts/bushings in your future.

good luck.

You should have a spring compresser and a torch to heat up stuck bolts
