Thank you everyone so much for the help so far. Now my first problem...... I pulled the SC off with no problems. now i took all 10 bolts out of the intake manifold and it still feels like there is a bolt in it. i pryed on it and it moves a little bit but i cant get it to lift off. I did not remove the valve covers. do the valve covers have to come off to get the IM out? is there a hidden bolt somewhere that i am missing? Please any ideas would be a great help. I am working on this now so a quick reply would be awesome! Thanks guys.
