you dont need a guide, its very straight forward.

take off the coil packs on both sides, soak ALL bolts the night before

Re-use the stock bolts, get some new GM gaskets

I didn't take my coils off, probably would have made it easier on the passenger side though lol. Its pretty straight forward, I use to have a guide. I will see if I can find it.

there's one. I didn't remove the coil packs either. and it's not as hard as it seems, it's pretty straight forward just get the car really really high. put in on ramps plus a 6" block on both sides and that will be high enough
