First off, I'd like to thank the grandprixforums community for all the information that's been posted. I've accessed a lot of useful information using the search function. Kudos to all of you guys!
Now, to the topic at hand, I got the LIM removed yesterday, started the day before. Wasn't too difficult, but I did find it time consuming. Also found it easier to remove parts entirely if they got in my way, rather than trying to work around them. Busted off both of the exhaust flange bolts removing the exhaust pipe, but I already have new ones on the way. I've also decided to replace the valve cover gaskets, coolant elbows, thermostat, etc. since you guys have suggested it to other visitors. I also took your advice to refrain from trying to replace the head gaskets.
The LIM gaskets were the factory originals at 231,000 miles, and honestly they didn't look half bad. The material next to the channels didn't look that worn at all. I don't know what this means in terms of how the car was taken care of, but I already have a set of felpro metal/rubber replacement gaskets ready to be put in tomorrow.
The coolant I drained out of the radiator prior seemed kinda viscous, I'm guessing because it hasn't been changed in awhile. I intend to flush it all out when I get done and the weather warms up. Also replacing a few radiator hoses (upper/lower/reservoir).
Also got the nose of the supercharger apart, and the coupler was a little worn, but didn't have too much ovaling. Gonna replace it anyway.
I now have quite the assortment of bolts and such, intimidating to look at, but I'm hoping it won't be too hard to remember where everything is supposed to go. I tried to organize the bolts as I pulled them off.
Not sure I can say anything else, any suggestions before I button her all back up?
