Be very careful removing your old intake or you will need a new oil pressure sender.

The big vacuum line to your power brakes runs behind the oil pressure sender. If you try pulling the intake forward very much at all, you'll break the sender. The top section of it is plastic and breaks real easy. Use a small mirror and look behind the intake and you'll see what I mean.

Be prepared to cut the **** out of your hands! THere was no way i could wear gloves cause you need to feel everything on the back.

I'm not sure if you need this or not, but on an LS6 swap or FAST you need the coolant block offs on the back, and the cross over tube for the front and also button head screws for the valley cover.

Other than that, it is pretty straight forward. I had a hell of a time getting the electrical connectors for the fuel injectors off. I would say i spent more time doing that, than i did actually removing the intake!
