I think there is a writeup somewhere. From what I can remember you just unhook the hose that connects to each manifold and follow the hose back ripping off **** as you go. Depending on your year it will be different and you may have to plug a line that goes into the back of your intake manifold. Other than that you just disconnect anything connected to the two hoses that go to your exhaust manifolds.

I think he means, how to actually get the bolts out holding the AIR in place.

I had one hell of a tough time getting those bolts out!

It probably took me about 15 mins to remove everything else, then another 1 1/2 hour to get the pump out, due to the bolts.

anymore input would be greatly apreciated!

EDIT: rading the above link, do you need block off plate??? i do not have any nor did i know you needed them
