Spark plugs aren't hard, just a bitch due to location and tool fitment is evil.
You did use platnium spark plugs, right?
pulling radiator actually is easy, thermostat access to some cars are just evil in placement.
Waterpump, tensioners and timing belt components are also easily accessible. IMO a neon/99% of FWD cars are harder to do due to engine placement due to transaxle taking up same space.
