I think there is a writeup somewhere. From what I can remember you just unhook the hose that connects to each manifold and follow the hose back ripping off **** as you go. Depending on your year it will be different and you may have to plug a line that goes into the back of your intake manifold. Other than that you just disconnect anything connected to the two hoses that go to your exhaust manifolds.

I think he means, how to actually get the bolts out holding the AIR in place.

I had one hell of a tough time getting those bolts out!

It probably took me about 15 mins to remove everything else, then another 1 1/2 hour to get the pump out, due to the bolts.

ok i was wondering about a write up.. i know where all the hoses are, astated above how do you get it from under the drivers head light. i know that i will have to get under hte car and access it through the little access panel held on by three bolts. shouldnt be that bad.

anymore input would be greatly apreciated!

EDIT: rading the above link, do you need block off plate??? i do not have any nor did i know you needed them
