Well I started. I only took off my intake, and my exhaust manifold head shield so far. Man that thing was a bitch. I ended up taking the fans out so I could get a ratchet on those front two bolts. But do I even need to take the exhaust manifold off? It's no big deal though, since the heat shield will have to come off anyways in a month or so when I go turbo. My only confusion is in all the connections that I have to disconnect. My Chilton's manual says I have to disconnect 1) a/c compressor 2) power steering pressure switch 3) heated oxygen sensors 4)engine coolant temperature gauge sensor 5) engine cooland temperature sensor 6) MAP sensor 7) intake air temperature sensor 8) throttle position sensor 9) idle air control (iac) motor 10) injector harness 11) ignition coil 12) camshaft position sensor 13) egr solenoid valve. I don't know where all of this stuff is, so should I just label where everything goes, and detach everything from the head up? Sorry for the long post, thanks for the help.
