Yup, easy as pie - Just don't drop it on your head, they are mighty heavy.
Like dh said, first thing to do is disconnect the battery, don't be tempted to leave it hooked up just so you can listen to tunes while you work.
You are in a confined space under a vehicle with a heavy object hanging over your head, not the time for a nasty jolt or random, $hit inducing sparks.
And if there are any shims, replace them exactly as is on the new one.

Need starter removal help
Hey guys., I have a 1996 Ram with 318. I'm getting the click- click too. Bought a starter and loosened the bolt and nut w/ washer.
I tapped with hammer, pryed with driver ...just wouldn't come loose. I think it is the original starter too. Finally got a heavy duty paint putty knife and tried to seperate it from the bell housing, but no luck!!!
Could it be welded or bonded with age to the motor?
Need some expert advise ...FAST
Thanks fellows. Steve
