I've never seen on inside an engine bay before. Usually they are plastered on the back of people's car.

Here is probably the worst nut to reach in the whole project, made the fuel line bracket nut a walk in the park. On the back of the bracket that holds the thottle cables and Cruise control between the cylinder head and the firewall on the drivers side. 1/2" nut. I busted my ass and tore up my hands getting that bastard out, seemed harder than the other side, only to find out that the bracket is slotted so I only had to loosen it.

Time to remove all the manifold bolts, 6 on each side, all 9/16". One or two or three are longer than the rest so try and keep track of where they go along with any brackets that may be attached to them.

Time for the good part, removing the manifold. I used a small scraper to wedge in the front seal to pry up. I also used compressed air to blow off what dirt and **** I could before peeling it open.
