A couple of tools?
He'll need a left nut removing spanner, a right nut removing spanner, and the appropriate spanner holders.
He'll then need a wheel transposer (and holder, brace, and, is he's playing safe, belt).
He might avoid having to use a chain retensioner or track end measurer, but he will need left and right wheel nut replacer spanners, and replacer spanner lube gun, and holders.
Then he'll need a wheel alignment jig, and ChainDeSlacker™, and a wheel spin rotator.
I make that 18 tools. Not a couple.
Plus any parts?

No point taking half measures:
i) Go fixed
ii) Remove brakes
iii) Cut down risers until there's just enough grip left to wrap your index fingers around
iv) Clips/straps/clipless are for nodders - use platforms, but cut them down to the width of your big toe
v) Wear massive headphones, but beef them up by wearing earplugs as well
vi) Never take your eyes off your phone whilst riding (the bars are just for show)
vii) Any chainring smaller than 50t, or any sprocket bigger than 15t is baby stuff
viii) Never ride in a straight line for more than 20m
ix) Never give way to anyone
x) Make sure your reach from saddle to bars is less than the width of your handspan.Sound like a lot of work, im not really much of the DIY type so might leave it & live

Forward planning here: it takes a few weeks to figure out if you like fixed or not. Keep them on but flip your wheel so if you change your mind you don't have to stick them both back on.
No matter what though keep your front brake on. Safety innit, even if you don't use it.
And what do i need to do this? Is it easy to do?
I am going to start riding the Cov ring road every Sunday morn at about 7, I live 1.5 miles from the ring road, then the circle itself is 2.25 miles and then my 1.5 home, this is enough for me on a Sunday morning, anyone fancy it?
Ring road should be nice and clear at that time on a sunday
