I can't say I've had to fiddle that much. If we're talking things like deciding which packages to install, I have a script that clones my explicitly installed packages and logs them to a file, and then is able to read it and install them all on a new box. Setting up wifi was as simple as just installing whichever manager you want and getting going, though. Contrary to a lot of peoples' experiences I seem to have a really easy time with Arch. Most of it just works after install.
