You need a camera, masking tape and a sharpie.
Tape and label all the wires you pull off. Tape and label the spark plug wires on the spark plug cap and label the cap to match each wire so they're plugged back into the right spots.
Take a lot of pictures as you're pulling stuff off.
I did this and had to check the pictures a couple times when putting everything back together.
When I took the intake off the second time to install the airgap I already had pictures so it was much faster.

i used the victor reinz intake manifold set, it has the nitro-seal stuff. been on there awhile now and works great. i didnt use the hughes plenum plate, the steel one is plenty thick enough, save your money. just clean surfaces well, use some black rtv gasket maker, put on a thin layer, enough to glue the gasket on, then put back on. should last for years.
