I should add more details.
There were some tricks. Getting the old pad out was easy as the adhesive had completely failed. I did try to contain the mess as much as possible with an old blanket over the motor and engine compartment.
I did:
Remove the air cleaner and cover (new air filter)
Remove hood shock (new hood shock)
Unbolted the bracket for the cruise control canister on the left side. This was key -- there is no clearance at all between that canister and the bracket for the hood shock. It took a lot of hand and wrist flexibility to get a 10mm wrench in there, but wasn't too bad.
Then, just slid the new pad in dry, and guided into position. I pulled the top of the pad down, sprayed in 3M spray adhesive where I could, and put a line of 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive along the edges, and pushed it into place, re-bent the clips, and put the other parts back on.
All together, about 2 hours, and would be less the second time.
