Here's the basic proceedure:
* If you have a digital camera, take several pictures of wiring, cables and vacuum lines. Anything that you are not sure of remembering exactly how it was before it was taken apart.
*Remove the air intake and filter box.
*Disconnect throttle cable, cruise control cable and transmission cables from throttle body.
*Disconnect wiring from throttle body, fuel rail and intake manifold.
*Unbolt fuel rail and lay it on top of valve cover.
*Remove throttle body from intake and set aside.
*Loosen serpentine belt and unbolt power steering pump. Lay it where the air box normally sets.
*Make sure all wiring and cables are unhooked and out of the way.
*Remove bolts from exhaust manifold to header pipe.
*Remove bolts from head that hold intake and exhaust on.
*Now you should be able to remove them from vehicle.
*Cover the exhaust pipe so nothing falls into it.
*Clean old gasket off of head and put new one in place.
*Install the donut gasket on exhaust output.
*Set the new header or exhaust manifold.
*Start the front and back bolts and the 2 bolts connecting to exhaust pipe.
*Tighten the bolts front and back of manifold finger tight.
*Just start the bolts that hold both intake manifold and exhaust,
*Now set the intake into place behind the washers on these bolts and put in the rest of bolts.
(This is much easier then trying to install them after intake is in place)
*Now install the intake manifold and top bolts.
*Tighten and torque them as best you can.
*I suggest you torque one or 2 with torque wrench and then using a wrench, feel how much it takes to get that amount of torque. Then use your feel to torque them all. There is no way to get at most of them with a torque wrench.
*Install the throttle body and connect the cables and wires to it.
*Install the power steering mount with pump and serpentine belt.
*Reconnect everything else and you are done!.
Good Luck!
