I would leave the index out of the first draft because I have the feeling that it will take almost as much work as the rest of the book.

The best way to implement an index would be to link from the word in the index to where it is found in the text.If you do it manually, this could be a lot of work. If you can find a way to automate some of this process, that would be good.
