Finally did mine last week. Thank you OP for this writeup. I thought it would have been a lot harder than it really was since I've never taken off an intake manifold before but, this writeup made it quite easy. That stupid middle screw on that mount was a pain in the ass so I just dremeled right through it, lol.

62,xxx miles, no OCC, meth for only the last 5k miles or so, no seafoam or any other treatment (although I am the second owner and have no idea what was done to the car before 38,xxx miles).
