Default plenum installation help

Hey Guys,
I bought a C&L plenum and accufab TB a while ago and it is still sitting on my counter...I want to try to install this thing and was wondering if anyone could give me some step instructions for installing the plenum and tool recommendations. I am not very mechanically inclined but feel I'm intelligent enough to follow instructions.Thanks in advance guys

pretty sure american muscle has an install guide on their website. other than that a simple socket set and basic hand tools is all you need, its very easy.

Yea AM has one i think. But you'll need some allen wrenches and some various other hand tools. Its nothing major. Just make sure all your hoses are put back on and everything. I forgot a vacuum hose and the car sounded like it had a .650 lift cam in it haha. Sounded cool but didn't really run haha . Its a really easy job

to do the plenum its the exact same as the TB, except you take 4-5 bolts out of the plenum that hold it to the manifold, and theres a couple hoses to disconnect and the EGR or whatever that thing is on the side. those 2 bolts btw are a PITA. get some PB blaster and make sure your socket is the 100% right size, not just one that "fits" otherwise you will strip it.

I actually did this write up for them...pretty much the same for a plenum, minus putting the spacer in...
