I'm looking through my car's manual (1992 Acura Integra) on changing the air filter. It seems pretty straight forward and I think I can do it myself- but I'm by no means a mechanic.
I was wondering if maybe the manual has left out certain important steps that I might not know about.

You shouldn't have a problem, that has to be one of the easiest things to change, normally even if you have a mechanic do it they just charge for the parts, it's so easy they don't charge labor, Good luck!

If A Mechanic Was Free Then It Would Be A Good Choice But Since The Manual Is Straight Foward I Think You Should Go For it ^_^

My car is a 1993 Ford and the air filter compartment has four screws and that's it. It's very simple to change. Just to to Discount Auto or Pep Boys or Autozone and ask the person at the counter. Or look at the Haines manual for that car if they have it.

Air filters are one of the easiest and cheapest things you can do. If your manual is showing you that it is easy it probably is. Just make sure you get the right one for your car. Changing your filter helps gas mileage so change it every 10k or so.

Changing air filters is VERY easy. Do it yourself.
If it's a K&N performance filter or something and needs to be oiled then be careful not to use too much oil. If it's stock, it's as easy as it looks. Take out the old, put in the new, and you're done.

Changing the filter(s) are pretty simple, it will take less than 5 minutes if its easy to get to or about ten minutes if there are other things in the way.
Let me tell you I am no mechanic but I try to do my own work. It is pretty simple.

Changing you air filter is generally an easy task. If you cannot figure it out on your own, any local oil/lube center should do it as a courtesy while changing your oil. Heck, maybe even just this by itself.

It's almost as easy as pumping gas.
Take off the cover.
Take the old one out (that's the hard part, along with getting the right filter).
Put the new one in.
Replace the cover.
I learned to do it myself.
