Default Removing Intake manifold Question

So I havent dug into replacing an intake manifold and probably going to leave mine alone but my buddy just got his ported one back and wants to do the job. What it entale? Does the alternator and bracket need to be removed? How long of a job? I did my GTO one in an hour but there was more room.

Looks a whole lot easier on my car than an F-body. I don't know exactly what all is involved though.

The only real hard part is the bolt under the alternator bracket. And it is hard, even with a small ratcheting wrench. The bolt will clear the heads if you lift it all the way up to the alternator bracket and slide the manifold out. Everything else should be basically the same as your GTO (torque wrench & loktite, fuel system, etc.).
