I am going to replace some of the secondary air components trying to run down a few p codes. Any tips or diys on removing the passenger intake manifold?

If you don't want to take the intake off you can pull the alternator and work from the front.

I was told one of the components wouldn’t clear the manifold. Not true?

I guess it may depend on what all you are trying to remove. I really was just replacing the vacuum reservoir, so haven't tried to remove any of the other components..

Got the manifold off. Not really difficult at all. If anyone is interested I can post a high level task list.

Now's a good time to change the air/oil separator if it hasn't already been done.

Appreciate that, but I just did it because I thought that might be my issue, but it wasn’t.
