SC vacuum leak

Ive disscovered when i spray carb cleaner around the left side of the air box and on the intake sleeves the idle increases yet if i run my finger down around the seams i cant feel anything, how can i pinpoint the location, is it possible to remove the injection system/air box with the engine in the car? it doesnt look like fun to me, but if someone has done this, any tips?

use oxygen from a oxy/acetylene setup. the oxygen will get sucked in any leak and speed up the idle. easy to see where the torch tip is, compared to wetting down a large area with messy carb cleaner. no, you don't light the torch.
