How about just trying a minimal demonstration?

Then you will get a feeling for it.  Once you have that running it
should be clear how to put 90% of your paper into LaTeX.

All you need are these files:
http://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/latexdemo/latexdemo.tex
http://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/latexdemo/latexdemo.bib
Then do these things:

latex latexdemo     # run latex to produce .log, .aux, .dvi
bibtex latexdemo    # get the bibliography references, make .bbl, .blg
latex latexdemo     # incorporate bibtex results
latex latexdemo     # get cross references
dvips latexdemo     # convert from .dvi to .ps
ps2pdf latexdemo.ps # convert from .ps to .pdf
