I need to replace the front brakes and rotors on my daughter's 1999 buick century. I have replaced many brakes on other vehicles. Am I in for any challenges with this vehicle?

Never changed any on a century ,but on most,after the caliper is off,the rotor comes off easily.the caliper,and the wheel lug nuts are what hold the crotor in place.
Remove brake caliper (support with a piece of wire), pads, and caliper mounting bracket (two 15 mm bolts). Then, disc will come right off--no challenges. Clean rust from hub, in order to prevent lateral runout (LRO); install new disc; install caliper mounting bracket; clean and lubricate caliper pins with silicone grease or Squeak Relief; spread pads (crack bleeder screw or remove master cylinder reservoir cap); and install new pads, after applying Squeak Relief or other anti-squeal compound to shims. Tighten caliper mounting bracket bolts (15 mm) 70 lb.-ft. tighten caliper bolts (12 mm) 25 lb.-ft.
