Do a partial drop of the engine and make it easy on yourself.

It gets to be a bit tricky with the engine in the car (but can certainly be done).

Here are a couple write-ups from others:

I should have specified the engine is not in the car........... its sitting on a pallet, thks

Partial engine drop, disconnect the fuel lines, disconnect the vacuum lines, remove cruise control cable, throttle linkage, remove electrical to cold start valve, WUR and the AAR(I think, near cylinder 5) and finally all the bolts on the intake runners.

Pulling off the boot between FD and throttle body give room too.

Much easier, should just be the 12 nuts at the heads then- plug the open intakes right away so nothing falls in.

Intake nuts and throttle body linkage, with isolator mounting rubbers/brackets at the back for the air box. Disconnect a few electrical connectors.
