Default Knock sensor help

I have a 99 Trans am. I know I have to take off the intake manifold and what I have read everyone said this is an easy job. Yet when I look under my hood it seems to be a little harder then people say. Couple questions........
1) Does anyone know of any videos i can purchase or find.
2) I know mine takes 2 knock sensors. Are they both the same?
3) What else do I need when attempting this i.e. gaskets, harness, etc.

Thanks for the advice.

read the LS6 PCV conversion on LS1howto.com
It will walk you through removing the intake and knock sensors with pictures.
I believe the knock sensors are the same, but maybe someone else can chime in. Also, no need for new gaskets or anything.

Default fixed it.

I fixed the knock sensor but broke the PCV Hoses behind the manifold as well as the oil pressure sensor. Oh well, learned alot of lessons.

damn man, that sucks. As far as the PCV, you can just use 3/8" fuel line I believe, you just upgrade to the LS6 PCV conversion...sorry I guess I should of mentioned that since you were already taking the intake off to get to the knock sensor.
