seriously... how do you guys know which vacuum tube goes where and electrical connection goes where... i took off the upper intake, and now there are MORE vacuum tubes/electrical wires.... its giving me a headache.... haha

btw, what is the easiest way to take out the fan shroud? and how can i access the motor mount bolts?

 

If they are stock vac tubes most of the are baked into a certain shape and can only go to one place. If you've replaced them once, like me you'll remember where all of them go. For electrical connectors most will only fit into one place that it can reach.

For the fan shroud you have to take off the clutch fan. Try using 2 10mm wrenches. Motor mount bolts you can get them from the bottom of the car.

 

You read the FSM, understand what each hose, connector, and solenoid does, and take your time.
For the experienced, you know how the car works and have memorized the locations of the hoses and connectors.

Fan shroud: Remove fan via 4x 10mm nuts on the waterpump pulley. Then, remove stock intake snorkel. Then, the 3 10mm bolts/screws that hold on the fan shroud. done.

Motor mount bolts:
14mm deep drive socket.

 

thanks
