Just did the replacement today. It can be tricky, and MAKE SURE YOU ADJUST YOUR SHOES AFTER INSTALLATION!! lol I forgot to, and I was confused as to why my rear-end wasn't wanting to stop.
A Hayne's manual can be really helpful, however it is decently straight-forward (just remember what came from where and how it was there; also leave one side untouched to use as a reference.)
The plain rotors fit fine. They are 9" x 2.5", with no fins. Also make sure you buy the right shoes.. I almost bought the 10" shoes by mistake due to a close part number. The result? MUCH better stopping ability and now my E-brake works. It really isn't that hard. Common tools, some Mountain Dew, and about 2-3 hours gets 'er done.

YES! And btw to all who will be doing this soon, I would classify the spring kit mentioned earlier as an absolute MUST. Probably 2/3s of the springs in my rear brakes were rusted, 3 of which literally fell apart when we took them off.
Pay the extra $ for the extra security and peace of mind.
Thanks for recommending the spring kit Rooster. Very much worth it!
