Don't over tighten the bolts going into the intake manifold because they are aluminum, they will snap and make your problem much worse. Its not hard, just dive into it. There are 3 bolts on the y pipe (intake plenum) that the throttle body is connected to. Just take those off and make note where the vacuum hoses go. You might want to use some kind of extension for the bolts on the bottom of the intake plenum. They are a little bit of a pain but nothing that bad. And make sure you grab those otherwise they'll drop onto the lower intake manifold and you'll either have to be really good with an extendable magnet or take off the upper intake manifold to get to them. I've done this so many times I can do it in like 5 mins. lol.
