How do I prevent fuel leakage when removing LIM?
So I cant start the car to perform the directions on the FSM, is there another way to prevent my fuel lines from pouring fuel out when removing the lower intake manifold? Maybe just removing the gas cap help take all the pressure out?

Removing the gas cap will definitely help. Put a rag under the lines you remove and the fuel spillage should be minimal.

The truth is a hard lesson sometimes.
It depends on what experience one has had on their way from childhood to being an adult owner of a very complex machine.
Some owners act like they do not have the knowledge/experience to totally rebuilt a bicycle, or even know the basics of the most simple cars from the 60s.
Going from no experience to a FD is a quantum leap. It is way over the head of many new young owner compared to us grouchy old men.
I was in a bicycle shop one day and a father brought in his sons bike. His son had messed with it and the father could not even fix the simple problem. The rear bearings were loose because the kid most likely loosened the lock-nuts.
I was laughing internally because I could fix that in 5 minutes with simple tools. This dad probably could not change a light bulb.

Maybe because I'm a youngin... But idk **** about older vehicles... I'm rebuilding a 70 c10 and learning as a go. However the FD I know fairly well. Never tore that far into the intake but, I would disconnect at the fuel filter and let the system bleed itself out from the Injectors,
See If you can force some air through. I mean, honestly unless your working with open flames there shouldn't be too muh concern. Just have rags ready and get as much sopped up as possible.
