its easier to go do it on your car than to have us try to tellpeople somtimes.
most junk yards will pull it for you too.
take side cuts, hack the cables, hack the wires and the 2 bolts to the intake (13mm socket and long extension if i remember right)& it'll come off.

you could just bring a pair of pliers and pull the cables out of the bracket that holds them on
just squeeze the plastic square part in the by the bracket, un clip it from the tb and pull them out...
remove the 2-13mm bolts and unplug the 2 wire plugs and your good to go.....

just remember....if you have cruise controll, you will need to find a throttle body from the same year or close to it for your cruise to work....
here is what i mean:
the clip that holds the cable on the butterfly from your cruise actuator uses a different style clip from 95-96 and 96-99......so if you have cruise, make sure to check what all the clips look like on the tb before you go to the junk yard.....but if you dont have cruise then you dont have to worry about it

i like having the atx butterfly spring on my r/t.....takes a bit to get used to, but its really easy on the foot
