INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.
Disconnect negative battery cable.
2.
Drain coolant.
3.
Remove air cleaner assembly.
4.
Label all lines, wires, and connections with masking tape
before disassembly to aid in re-assembly.
Disconnect all
throttle cables and accessories, disconnect all vacuum lines to
throttle body. Disconnect both fuel lines at rear of throttle body.
Be careful of line pressure. Remove 3 throttle body mounting
bolts and remove throttle body.
Remove top alternator mounting bolt and the bolt holding the
belt tension assembly. Remove two bolts that hold bracket to left
front support base, which is mounted to the two left front
manifold bolts. Remove bracket assembly.
NOTE:
On later
vehicles, this procedure may not be required.
9.
Alternator has a support bracket running from the two left front
intake manifold bolts to the rear of the fan belt tension assembly
and the upper alternator bolt (this will be re-used during
assembly). Release the belt tension using a ratchet and socket,
then remove the fan belt.

.
The electronic vacuum regulator valve is mounted on the third
bolt from the front, on the right side of the manifold. When you
remove the bracket, there will be two support brackets running
from different locations on the backside of the A/C compressor,
both meeting the manifold at one spot.
Remove bolts and
brackets. (Brackets will be re-used).
6.
Disconnect vacuum fitting for power brake booster from intake
manifold.
7.
Remove heater hose connection from the manifold (most will be
located at the right rear of the manifold).
5.
Remove top radiator hose, remove thermostat housing and
thermostat.
NOTE:
Ground wires may be located on thermostat
mounting bolt. It is important to note the location of all ground
wires so they can be put back exactly as they were.
It is a good idea to replace your old thermostat at this time. For
proper ECM operation it must be the correct temperature, usually
195°F (check manufacturer's specifications). Remove the water
pump bypass hose located under the thermostat on front of the
manifold. Looking at the front of the engine, directly to the left of
the water pump bypass is the coolant temperature-sending unit.
Disconnect the electric connection, remove the sending unit and
set aside. It is better to remove sensor at this time to avoid
damage upon manifold removal. The sensor will be re-used in
the new manifold.
