How easy it is depends on your ability really :D

As you're putting an E30 engine and drive train in an E30, it's very easy on that front. You'll need to change pretty much everything underneath. Engine, Gearbox, Diff, Radiator and coolant system, exhaust, engine loom and clocks. Don't forget your car will have smaller front struts and brakes plus only rear drums. So to do the swap properly and safely you need to look at getting discs all round as well.
