This.
I always hated having to remove the AIR fittings and the alt to do anything on an LT1, but don't worry cause this won't be the last time you have remove them. If you can I'd recommend using a compressor to blow all the dirt off the intake, so you don't drop a bunch of junk into the heads while your trying to remove the covers.
