Well, when you remove the stock intake you're going to have to block the old coolant ports with some plugs that should be included with the intake because you're going to be using a different coolant tube setup under there. The EGR is gonna have to get the heck outta there. Just pull it off and get yourself some block off plates for the manifolds/ headers. Removing the EGR will throw a code so you're going to have to get that taken care of. Besides that you should be all good.

Don't break off the oil pressure sending unit. When you go to pull the intake out after you've loosened all the screws, and you've unhooked all the injectors, there will probably be a large vacuum hose sitting behind the sending unit that will catch on it, and if you don't reach around and pull it up and over the unit, you'll snap it right off. quick $50 bucks right down the drain if you do.
You're going to need the LS6 coolant front pipe, and the two coolant plugs for the back.
Might as well switch over to the LS6 PVC system while you're at it. Next time my intake comes off I'm going to. Will clean up the engine bay!

True that... I installed my LS6 intake last night, and sure enought. I snapped the oil pressure sensor right off. Be VERY careful pulling out the intake when you're trying to reach behind it, to disconnect everything. You can buy a new sensor at Autozone for $30, or go to O'Reily's for $20. Also, you'll need to buy a oil pressure sensor socket for $6 at the auto parts store to install it.
