Here's where I am in my project. I've got stainless OMP lines, they're easy to get to at the OMP itself, but what else do I have to remove to get to the other ends?? Any suggestions from somebody that has done this before??

from there remove the following:

* Alternator bracket (not really neccesary but it's a pain to work around)
* Solenoid rack
* Fuel rails

So I've been tinkering through the service manual, and I can't find much about removing the solenoid rack. I've been inspecting under the hood and can't really tell what to remove to get the rack off. Anybody have any good instructions on the easiest way to get the rack off? It sure is tight quarters trying to work in this area.

You need to remove the coil pack. Disconnect vacuum hoses (you'll be able to tell which ones need to be disconnected) and, remove bolts holding down the rats nest (solenoid rack).
Oh yeah, open your gas cap to relieve fuel press. You need to remove a couple fuel hoses.

This doesn't sound fun. . . oh well, I'm already this far.

It's not fun. As you remove vacuum hoses and connectors to remove the solenoid rack, make sure you label everything (colorcoded/numbered tape works well) so that you can get it back together correctly.

While you're in there you might want to think about replacing some of the coolant/fuel lines you're removing, also sending your injectors off to be cleaned/flowtested if they are high mileage. You're in there anyway

Any recommendations on where to send the injectors?

I'm told www.witchhunter.com does good work with quick turnaround as well.
