Question Can u see the backside of an LS1 Intake if you lay under the car?

While installing my ls6 intake I lost sight of the knock sensor harness and I think its either:
Under the intake all together
Fell behind the back of the block...

So if it fell behind the back of the block would I be able to see it from the underside of the car where the engine and transmission (a4) meet?

Good news is: the intake is not torqued down, just snugged up and I was about to torque it down when I realized the MIA knock sensor harness. I have more room feeling around on the drivers side but still can't feel it, tried a small mirror too, but couldn't see it. Even put my camera back there to no avail. Coat hanger caught on too many other things... Any tips from the Pro's?

It likely is slightly resting on the top of the trans. Just pull the intake back off and locate it. No big deal really.

intake is an easy job. just take your time and its a no biggy. but i agree with 01ssreda4, just take it back off, less headache in the long run. also make sure your knock sensors are still in there snug, so you know you didn't break one.
