What good is the video that doesn’t really show where he’s working. It shows the opposite side of the car.
Thanks for this video - It's a HUGE help! I couldn't attempt this without your help! I'm stuck on trying to pry up the intake manifold plenum: Can you describe where exactly those 2 bolts are in the back for the throttle body mount that would let the whole thing loosen up? There are about 6 or 8 bolts back there and I can't seem to figure out which ones would do the trick. I have the workshop manual and that's not very helpful to show where everything gets mounted together. Thanks for your help!
Glad it helped. I will look tomorrow and get back to you.

There are 4 bolts to the frame frame to loosen plenum to get to thermostat 2 rear bolts.
Which ones did you loosen, bottom rear, front ?
To loosen the throttle body from the engine I had to take loose the bolts from the bracket at the throttle body so the throttle body would lift with the intake. The intake I removed the five bolts on each side that hold it to the heads to lift the intake up. Hope this helps.
To add to my last comment: Do the bolts face straight back to the firewall, or do they face to the left and right fenders? Looks like there's a triangular shaped bracket on either part of the lower side that has 3 bolts to it...So maybe the top 2 would let go of the throttle body if I pulled those out?
As stated to your other request. I will look tomorrow to refresh my memory on this.
After looking again the triangle bracket is what you are looking for. There is 1 bolt on each side with the head facing the right and left fenders. It should be the highest bolt nearest the throttle body. They are in a tough spot. I found it easiest to get to them from the right side of the car (passenger side in US). More of a feel than a see situation.
Got it - thank you!!
Where did you get the aftermarket air intake from?
Red Tail Performance.
Sure its easy when you removve the radiator
Best to be safe and lower risk of damage.
Why dont first learn how to use a camera. This is not suppose to be a postcast. Half of what you are doing is not in the camera view angle😡
