I have a valve cover leak on one side and i plan on fixing it but prob not for a while since its not bad. i will wait til i have some time and can take it slow. Is this a hard job at all and am i going to have to remove anything else to get the covers off?

You shouldn't have to remove much. If anything. I have personally done a job similar without having to remove anything.

On passenger side, may have to remove the intake/massair assembly.

I took mine off and replaced them with those rubber gasket things.. I had the upper intake off at the time. I would imagine it'd be difficult to manuever a socket in to the center bolt positions.

I replaced the upper to lower gasket while in there, and cleaned up the TB etc. Since you have time (you said you plan on taking it slow,) you may want to go that route.
