Don't make the same mistake I did. Make sure that you change/modify the coolant lines underneath the intake manifold (on the block) or else nothing will work. It sucks. Make sure you do that and most importantly, be PATIENT, and you will be alright. Good luck.

Be careful not to break off the oil pressure sending unit.... Do a search and you'll see plenty of advice on how to avoid breaking this thing (yes it can break easily).

Good luck

Unhook the MAP sensor from the passenger side. It's kinda tricky. Once you do it and see how it goes it's not that bad. The brake vacuum hose can be tricky too. I usually unhook it off of the vacuum tank thingy and bring the hose out with the intake.
