If I remember correctly all I removed was the airbox,MAF sensor ,and intake tube. Then I unplugged the sparkplug wires from the sparkplugs and put them outta the way.I didnt really have to remove anything else I dont think.

the dipstick tube will need to be removed, it bolts on the 3rd bolton the drivers side,be careful of the sparkplugs when u put them in, if you bang them it could crack the porcelain part ruining it
the instructions u got are for longtube headers
