thanks for the help. it shouldn't be too hard then. i think I should have enough time to do it this weekend.
Here's a tip, get a friend to help you out too. The coolant hose, cold start injector line and the injector is a pain in the ass to detatch and re-attach, so you will need someone to support the unbolted air charge tank (upper intake manifold + throttle body) while you can access those hoses and lines. Use the LONGEST pair of pliers to access the clamping clips that hold the hoses, because you have little space to fit your hand in the gaps to reach them.
When attaching the cold start injector line back on, make sure you tighten that nut good, otherwise it will spray fuel when you crank the motor.
TRY TO BE CAREFUL with the gasket that goes between the lower and upper intake manifolds. It can easily snap and you will have idle and boost problems if it does. Try to order a new gasket just in case.
