How to remove ratnest pipes?

Guy's I am converting to single turbo and a little stuck on how best to get the metal ratnest pipe work off from under the plenum? I have then pleum off but there are still a lot of pipes and plugs about.. I can see some little screws but they do not seem kean to come un-done.. cannot see anything else holding the metal rail in place. Please can someone advise what I need to get off, in what order and how so I do not break anything in the process.

Thank you
Lee

Don't screw around with the little screws while the rack is still in the car - they are in there with loctite. Pull the coils and unhook the soft fuel hoses from the hard lines.

The whole rack, bracket, and hard lines come off in one piece once you undo 3 or 4 bolts holding it to the block.

Once you get everything out and disassembled, you can put the hard lines back in if you want or you can just run new fuel injection hose.
