I told you I would have sent another sleeve if it wasnt in there. But either way you only need 2 and not 3. The 95 model bolts directly to the MAF so that sleeve isn't needed.

As far as the wires..there is no wiring to the CAI itself. They are refering to MAF again, and the wiring harness atop it. It's a fairly simple and straight forward install. You are essentially just rerouting the airflow. There are no mechanical or electrical components to worry about... unless you count the Mass Air, but you don't have to mess with that at all.

Here's a pic that shows how it looks on a 1995. The quality is a little bad, but you get the general idea. The only wire is in the MAF. And there are only two sleeves...both between the MAF and the TB.

It's really a lot easier than you think And yes you can do it with the engine warm. Just be careful not to screw with the wires to teh mass air sensor.. You DONT want to rip those off or damage them (I mean the wires inside the MAF itself, not the ones in the harness on top.)

I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the area you will be working in will be cooler anyway.
