Frank's advice about attaching a wire or thin rope to the old hoses as you remove them from the engine bay or from the front condenser is spot on. I never would have been able to fish some of those through without it. It's not difficult and not even terribly time consuming but oh so satisfying.

This. The hose replacement is the easiest, but dirtiest part of the job. Instructions are not that complex. And as already suggested be sure to have some strong pulling line for getting the lines through the tight areas in the engine compartment. It did mine in 2007 so many details are lost to time in my memory. It was not difficult at all, and the entire install is pretty easy for anyone that has worked on cars for very long. The only complex part is the vacuum and charging. That can be hired out. I love to learn new things so I invested in the tools to do it all myself.
