Default Scorpion rocker install help please

The instructions aren't too clear on how I should go about this, it says its a stock replacement, but it comes with a u channel (for 2 rockers) and individual pedestals. Do I replace my stock rocker arm pedestal?

The instructions aren't so clear because at no point does it say take it all off then install individually. Instead it says one at a time, but the stock rocker arm pedestal block is a single piece.

Anyone here install scorpions? Should I take off all the rockers then go with the kit's u channel/individual pedestals or use the stock pedestals?

Nevermind, I decided to take off one side completely to measure the rocker pedestal vs the stock piece and found the stock one shorter making it pretty much a set deal. The instructions sound like you can just slap them on just one at a time using the ic eo method which would save time but whatever. It's installed now after some extra late nite hours heh
