Wow, I love hearing how people address the 200 air filter. This is how most of the guys I know do them:

Take the one screw out of the MAF that anchors it to the fender.
Pop the two clips and lean the cover back towards the firewall
Grab the old filter and yank it out.
Take the new filter and put a little something slippery, like grease, on the lower edge of it where it has to pop in at the bottom.
With the cover pushed as far back as it will go, stuff the new filter all the way in.
It will not go in at the bottom so take either a long screwdriver or your arm and reach down there and push it into the little groove that it goes into the lid.
Put it back together, 5 minutes tops, 2 minutes if you've done it once before.

The trick is not to take the lid out of the groove that it goes into at the bottom, if you do you might as well take the whole darn lid out, install the filter in the lid and then install the lid/filter assembly back onto the front of the box.
