And the brake booster hose that you take off the back, you only need to take off one end, leave the other end on the manifold and it comes out with it.

I think the hardest part was taking those small bolts off the egr/header.

Which part are you talking about the PCV or the Oil pressure switch, its common to break the oil pressure switch but the pcv line just gets brittle and hott over the years and will break back there

with the oil mess back there it was problably broken all ready, if you had water down the knock sensor holes you should change them and the wire harness the terminals get coroded and will give you codes, it comes with the rubber seals, i do so many on the trucks at the shop.

On an F body, yes.

There was a guy who did a write up about re-locating the OPS on a Corvette. It would also work on an F body.

Simply put, he mounted it remotely and ran a hose between it and the block and extended the wiring harness.
