get some masking tape and a marker, label everything, take some photos, get some ziplock bags and a sharpie, and dive in. This is the perfect thing to learn on. start with undoing the battery, then it doesn't much matter how you proceed.

Get a Haynes or Chiltons manual.

Drain fluids
remove radiator
unbolt & remove crap. Make lables & take pic's.

oh, you asked about tools. Most everything will be 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 -inch, but the motor mount bolts will be 5/8 on the bolt and 11/16 on the nut. Just get 2 of each size in combination wrenches and sockets, a 1/2"-drive set is fine, with a swivel (double U-joint) and a few extensions. That and a straight screwdriver for the hose clamps. This is a super easy car to work on.
