Default Samco Hose Install difficulty level?

Hey all,
I just ordered the Samco Hose Kit and clamps for my B5. I did some searches and the only DIY's and How-To's were for the F-Hose and TBB. Does anyone know of one for the whole kit? How about the difficulty of installing all of them? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

the kit is pretty straight forward. The only thing i had problems w/ were the upper intercooler hoses. For those you need to remove your headlights. The F hose was also a problem, but then i found out it wasn't applicable for my year S4. For the most part all of the hoses are visible from inside the engine bay and very easy to replace. Aside from the intercooler hoses(the 2 top ones)you shouldn't need any DIY guide. This was the best upgrade I have ever purchased.

Difficulty level on a scale from 1 to 10 I'd say 2 or 3. (removing the headlights is the hardest part.)
