if it's a shim type kit you'll wanna set your caster/camber as you put it in. Ratchet style you probably don't need to though.

Pretty easy mate, just a matter of undoing the 8 bolts in the engine bay, undoing the 4 on the upper control arms, pulling old ones out, putting new ones in and reversing the process.
A good thing to do is to get your old upper arm mounts (including any shims), and roughly try and get the new camber kits to the same position, just so it's not too far out that it's undrivable.

One thing I might mention (if you haven't seen it in any searches) is to do up the upper control arm bolts when the front wheels are sitting on the ground (ie not on jacks or stands). Otherwise, the weight of the front end will put torsion on the rubber bushes and cause premature wear. I found this out the hard way. It's a bit fiddly reaching under the guards with ring spanners.
A few people have told me that ratchet-type kits slip & that I should use the ones with shims. But, it hasn't happened since the K-Macs were installed 10 years ago.
