Marco, Its not hard bro......there are maybe(?) 4-5 1/2" nuts holding the pedals to the firewall. First, you need to remove the plastic cover by the pedals. Next remove the interior trim panel (also plastic) just below the steering column by your knees.
The best piece of advise I can give you from experience is to actually unbolt the steering column from the little "frame" that holds it up to the dash (do not unbolt it from the firewall). There are two 1/2" (if memory serves me correct) bolts that hold it "up" to the dash. This will allow the steering column to drop down quite a few inches which really helps when removing the pedals. You actually have to rotate the pedal assembly around the steering column (by the firewall) since they are mounted above where the column goes into the firewall.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, Jason

there's a simple clip that holds the cable to the gas pedal, and I believe a pin with cotter pin holding the brake pedal to the brake booster and the same for the clutch pedal to the master cyl. Then just disconnect the harness for the switches or they simply slip forward (or backward can't remember) then pull right out. I believe the pedals themselves are held in with a pin with cotter pin also onto the bracket, you may find it easier to take off the clutch pedal to get the bracket out but it's not needed. and like jason said take those nuts and bolts out and you can lower the steering column if needed but I didn't when I did mine.

haha, I totally forgot about the clips 
Yeah, as camaroguy26 said, its simple to unhook the connectors and clips. The hardest one is the clutch pedal clip....its really tucked up under the dash I use a longer "regular" screwdriver to gentley pry it off. Its much tricker to put it on than to take it off though
