What year and engine you got?
For the best details I suggest to download the service manual from the FAQ (Just a few posts above this one). The service manual has all the details on all the brackets and intake manifold. It also has all the torque specs.
Don't forget to get all gaskets. If it is a V6 or V8 Magnum don't forget to replace the intake plenum gasket, that is a common problem. Also change the bypass hose coming off of the intake manifold, also it is a good time to do the thermostat and other normal tune up stuff.

Easy, I did one on my 91 acclaim. Time consuming but if you take your time you can knock it out.
I can't find the article now, but if you search on allpar.com there is a great how to on replacing the head gasket, both "by the book" and a quick way. Very informative.
