Dubie,
I just did this swap. It's really easy, but you won't be able to have the number 1 post on the distributer cap pointing where most manuals show it. They show it next to the block at the front of the engine. You need to shift it around where it is pointing at the inner fender (away from the block) so you can have enough room to move the distributer body for timing the engine.
If you are junkyard shopping for your distributer, make sure you get a wire with the connector on it for the hot lead, you can use a screw cap type of connector to attach it to the current hot wire from your coil, or for a much more professional look, parts stores have a neat looking connector type that resembles an inline fuse connector.
Depending on what type of vehicle your engine is in you may have to do some bending of the gas lines from your fuel pump, and of course you can pull the coil off of the engine.
Good Luck
