Very easy. Takes about 20-30 mins. maybe.

huh...is there really anyway to mess it up, or is kind a it only fits one way thing?

As stated, a quick and easy job.

Unplug fuel pump (under back seat) and crank it for a few seconds. This is to relieve the fuel pressure so there's not a lot of fuel in the lines.
Unbolt fuel rail. Make sure you don't lose the spacers. They are underneath the fuel rail where it bolts to the head.
Unbolt fuel lines from the end of the fuel rail if needed. You should be able to do without this step.
Pull injectors out (if there are any in there) and put new ones in.
Then bolt everything back up.

Here's a picture of injectors installed in a rail. They will clip in. Just make sure that the part of the injector that the plug goes into is facing towards the front of the car when installed.

haha thanks bro, I'm gonna look into this car more then because that defiantly seems like an easy thing I can do myself.

I was looking into a ESI Talon because it had 45K on it...but I'm not sure if I can do without the turbo, and I don't really feel like converting it to a turbo yah know. I figure it'd be easier to fine a messed up GST/GSX and fix it.

Be cautious of non-currently-running cars; all they need is X. There may be many other things preventing it from running or other deficiencies that woud be evident it was drivable.

Oh I know, I was just curious how hard it would be to fix. A good thing is that my close friends dad owns a mechanic shop so that dose help me out a lot.
