Default intake removal

Looking thru all the posts here about intake swapping, there was one that said something about the knock sensor harness being attached to the intake and you have to disconnect it before you move the intake. Is this right? I can't see where this would be. I think I've got everything else disconnected, don't want to break any wires when I pull the intake out. None of the other posts or how-tos mention this.

The two knock sensors and harness run underneath the intake and fit into two slots of the valley cover. Neither the sensors nor the harness are connected to the intake itself. You'll be good if you've disconnected everything else.

Its more for when your putting the intake back in, just make sure the wires are back in the center of the VC and not being pinched by the intake when you put it back in.

Yeah about the OPSU... does the wire that connects to the OPSU run in front of the brake booster hose or behind it? If it goes in front I have to disconnect that wire before pulling forward?

My brake booster was ontop of my OPSU so when i removed the bolts and just moved it a bit my OPS snapped instantly so i didnt have a chance. I kick myself for not atleast grabbing it but I read some people pull it out atleast a couple inches to grab the BB line and then guide it out. I say just treat it like open heart surgary. I paid 42 dollars at autozone for a new one...
