Not making much progress but keep chipping away at the places I haven't figured out yet
This is as far as I've got, at least had hoped to get the intake manifold free today, but it's Saturday anyway, usually my day off
Here is the final hang-up, that pipe to center left, going in below the IAC ports
I was thinking this was involved but was on the wrong track there I suppose. I won't be able to get the lower intake until I round up some reverse torx sockets, but will go back together with at least the intake manifold gasket replaced and see how it does with that. I may need to get another intake gasket if it needs to be done again, but even having to do it twice will be alright, at least I'll have it figured out by then(maybe )
And here's what's holding it up, wondering if I turned the manifold a bit it would break free
