Default Heater core replacement

Greetings all. I have an '02 Ranger Edge, 3.0L, 2WD, stock. The cab has been smelling like antifreeze for a week and the windshield is fogging up. I checked the coolant system and saw nothing leaking. Today, while driving, I turned on the a/c, and antifreeze laced steam poured out of the vents. It also started to overheat. When I got back to the office, THEN I saw the antifreeze leak under the firewall area. I strongly suspect the heater core needs to be replaced. Everyone I have spoken to said to "take it to a pro".
My question is this: is this something that can be done in an afternoon? How difficult is it to do?
thanks
