1. Phobia will be along shortly with the batch and model # for the American Standard powerhouse he's so giddy about.
2. It's not the most difficult job, but it can have it's share of complicating factors. What's the flooring situation, tile, hardwood, carpet, linoleum? Each will have varying degrees of forgiveness. Any problems with level re: said flooring? Remove the old toilet before making any purchases so you can see what type of wax ring you'll need and how much play you'll have in the seating bolts [ie, how long/short they are].
If you have a level solid surface with a standard ring, and decent boltdowns, and you replace the old with substantially similar new, it's a snap. The more you vary from the old, the more McGuyvering you'll be in for.,
