How long to install a fuel plate and tab the KDP?

I just got my #11 plate and KPD tab kit and can't wait to put them in, but would like an idea of how long to set aside to do this. Is it a couple hours (like after work?), or more like half a day (wait for the weekend?), or an all day drag it out kinda deal? Anything else I should tend to while doing these upgrades?

I have plenty of tools and a reasonable level of mechanical aptitude, just new to the bombing scene.
