Why would you need to change them?

It sounds like he's just painting the LS1 intake and not installing an LS6. If thats the case no need to swap the coolant lines.

when you re-install it, put the rear bolts into the manifold before you slide it back there... you cant get them in from under the cowl.

If you take the time to take off the Intake, I would just invest on a LS6 Intake.

+1, hell get the LS6 painted while you are at it.

But if you just want advice while removing, take your time.

Be sure if you put the FAST intake on, you change the valley cover bolts. The stock valley cover bolts WILL bust through the bottom of the FAST intake plastic.

Also I suggest if you take off the LS1 intake, you just get an LS6, paint it before you put it on and pick up a few HP while adding Bling.
