Not too bad a job.

Raid a scrapyard for the bits you need from an intercooled model
Intercooler
Hoses
Metal pipe over the engine
Inlet manifold

You'll also need to make up a little bracket to move the throttle cable a little (otherwise it'll foul the intercooler hose). I tend to make a bracket to move it forward and down a little and attach it to the original bracket.
