i just bought the whole manifold off of someone parting out a truck. that part is attached from the bottom.doesn't look like it comes off except after you take the whole manifold off and flip it over. tell me how to post a pic and i will snap a pic and post it (i've tried posting pics before and screw it up somehow every time.)

just went out in the garage and took pictures of it to show you. PM me an email address if I can't figure out how to post pics and I will send you the pics.

Yea, you have to remove the plenum to get to the bolts holding the pipe assembly in place.

X2. Remove all hoses and visible bolts for the vacuum lines/intake manifold. Manifold and vacuum lines come off as one and are bolted together from underneath.

ok so I didn't remove it yet....lol. I'm gonna tackle it tomorrow.... so besides vac hoses... do I need to remove any fuel lines? I'm just worried about breakin something and being in a deeper hole...

You need to be super carefull when removing the upper intake. There is a little plastic valve that most people tend to break.

cold start injector needs to be taken off or disconnected.

and the coolant lines for the TB, which may or may not be under pressure...lol...don't ask.
