Regardless thanks for the write up!

Yeah I followed this guide and it was so helpful.
We could not get the junction box off the intake manifold, no matter how hard we tried (my father was a mechanic for 20+ years and even he couldn't). It was so hard and brittle, the plastic was just stretching when trying to release the clips.
So like you, we did it without removing the manifold. Pain in the arse though!
