Unfortunately there is a little work involved in changing the plugs and wires. You have to take off the intake assembly and throttle body to gain access to the plugs and wires beneath the throttle body as well as the other in the back.
It's a fairly straight forward process. You shouldn't have to adjust the throttle unless you somehow took off the throttle position sensor or messed up the throttle linkage. Take it slow and remember what goes where. I'd also like to suggest checking out the TSRM.

There are 4 bolts that connect the throttle body to the intake manifold. Once those are removed, you have to take off coolant lines and vacuum lines, remember what goes where! You also have to disconnect the TPS(throttle position sensor).

you dont have to disconnect anything off the throttle body except the metal two into one oil tube coming off the valve covers you can carefully set the TB to the side with the other lines attached.
and the throttle linkage you can just pull off the TB.

its still out of the way you just set it on top of the intake y pipe the hoses are flexible enough.
to each his own tho
Just easier to not worry about getting everything back in place to leave it connected to the lines and move it off to the side. The stock TB gasket is mostly metal with a rubber sealing gasket, mine is the original one and I've never broke it and it still seals.
thanks. i will do that for sure this weekend, i just wasnt sure if anything needed to be readjusted.
