The answer kind of depends on the size of your hands and the strength of your fingers- You can remove the air cleaner and the MAF, and then pull the broken T elbow out of the driver's side of the MAF elbow, and the venturi 'Y' connector out of the passenger side. Then you can remove the MAF elbow from the lower plenum by undoing the large band clamp that holds it in place. (7 mm flex hex driver works well for this). Then replace the T-elbow onto the ends of the ISV hose and the brake booster venturi and then origami everything back together. I've watched Mark Anderson's hands do this where my hands could not, so it's certainly do-able. You just can't have size 8.5 hands.....
