Yes... altho it is much easier if you remove the intake manifold first.

TrickFlow also sells various 4-corner steam line kits (I don't know if these work with the FAST 102 (they probably do)):

Got it in what a sweet kit! Install this weekend for my piece of mind to have all 4 corners vented for when I spray it!

I know it depends on who you ask on this subject but I wouldn't worry about the back vents. The highest point on the heads are the front steam vents. I spray mine all the time with a 200 shot with no issues what so ever.
