Jeff speaks truth, but a few comments......
as easy as the A/C compressor is to remove, it makes the job 10 times easier to do with it out.
I always recommend replacing that oil line, especially if the car has the old style heat shield. Also replacing the heat shield if it's the old style too!
Consider the age & condition of your clutch too, as once you do the turbo kit, the clutch may be on it's way out once you put that power to it.
Don't forget to prime the oil in the turbo too. Pull the fuel pump fuse, and crank it a few times before you actually start the engine. That'll put oil through the system. ;-)

yes you can handle the install.
you will need a second pair of hands to guide the oil line down to the pan, but besides that its a one man job. i think undoing the cat bolts was the biggest pita, or reattaching the coolant line to the block.<ul><li><a href="http://home.comcast.net/~hhong4/k04install.htm">this article is very good for the install</a></li></ul>
