Watch the oil pressure sending unit at the back of the engine. It will break easily if you hit it as you reinstall the intake manifold. It's not easy to see since it's hidden under the cowl.

Also be careful when re-installing the intake to not pinch the wiring harness. If you do, it will pull timing like it is sensing knock and throw a knock sensor code. Replacing the sensors won't help and you will have to change the harness. Ask me how I know
