I went ahead and finished taking the intake manifold off. I wanted to disconnect all the vacuum lines, fuel lines, and anything else that might get in my way. Be careful to not damage the throttle body gasket, or intake manifold gasket.



Dang does that look good. No burnt black oil, just a nice light golden brown.



A few shop towels made for a good block for the upper intake manifold. Taking off the strut tower brace was a bit time consuming. I started disconnected all the pcv system, all the sensors, and the fuel injectors. This way I can move all the wiring harnesses out of my way so they don't piss me off when I'm trying to pull the covers off later. No real process here, just disconnected and moving everything aside.
