Default intake install

ok, so in a hurry to get my car back on the road, ordered an new intake and tb and egr spacer from later model and had it shipped next day air (cost me 140.00) and had some questions

am i going to have to pull the water pump or distributor to remove the lower intake, or is it just a matter of removing upper, then fuel rails and injectors and then the lower, and then the reverse


thanks

You can even leav the dizzy in. Water pump stays in you will not need to take it out. Just upper lower and what ever is on the upper and lower goes on the new one

dont worry about the water pump. but you may or may not have to pull the dizzy, sometimes you can wiggle it out but you may have to pull it. if you do just make sure you stab it right again, check the tech article on how to do it if you dont know how to make sure it's right. but other than that, just pull the upper, the fuelrails and injectors and you should be good
