I took out my CIS on a '79 California car. It has a really nasty EGR back in the #6 corner.
In order to get the last two nuts off, I had to use two universal joint extensions. I stuck my left hand in underneath to brace them and worked the wrench with my right. It was quite possibly the most awkward nut removal I've ever done.
Once you get the bolts, I highly recommend you use a magnetic pickup to fish out the washers before you begin lifting the runner out. If one of them falls into the cylinder, you are in serious trouble. I had one non-ferrous washer back there and it fell in. Fortunately, the #6 intake valve was closed at the time. I almost had a heart attack.
