Default Installing the ATX throttle body guide?

Hey,
I was looking through the FAQ's and never saw a guide. It seems easy enough I just didn't know if there was anything in particular to look for. My MTX has cruise control and so does the auto I got it off of but it looks as if I have to take apart and swap over the part where the wires connect on my MTX TB anyways. Any other tips? Thanks.

1. unbolt old tb
2. take off sensors (if you have a sohc and the new tb came from a sohc you can use the sensors from new tb aswell)( if you are mismatching from sohc to dohc or vice versa the sensors are a lil different i beleive.. so you will have to reuse old sensors)
3. since bopth are from a cruise control car you dont have to take off the part the cable goes to.
4.bolt on sensors you need to use to tb
5. bolt on new tb to manifold and hook up acessories
6. done


7. im stoopid so if i miss anything .... oops
