Are you asking what to do when you do them? If so, Longtubes, ORY, motor mounts. Might as well get all of that **** done at the same time since you'll nearly have to remove everything anyway.

Give yourself ALOT of time to make sure the wires are away from anything hot or rotating. Trust me, dont make a $50+ dollar mistake like I did by letting my $70 MSD wires get cut by the serp belt.

it just takes time cause most people have to remove the coil pacs on pass side ( at least I did) plus you'll scratch the hell out of your hands unless you do something about the windshield plastic mold. the drivers side is a breeze the pass side takes time. Try it your self you might be surprised at what you can do, and you'll save a ton of $$$$ shop by my house wanted to charge me 400.00 just for plug/wire change!!! so think about that.
