Chevrolet 17095069 Manifold Assembly, Upper Intake (W/ Throttle Body)

First off, disconnect the negative battery cable. For 1994 and 1995 VIN Z models, take out the upper fan shroud, air cleaner assembly, drain the cooling system, and disconnect the radiator as well as heater hoses. Also disassemble the spark plug wires, coil and distributor by unbolting emission relays bracket and remove rear braces from drive belt tensioner, remembering to mark relationship of distributor rotor with respect to other parts before removal. Disconnect the fuel lines at TBI unit; remove accelerator cables, cruise control cables, TV cables from manifold; detach vacuum brake booster pipe; label manifold lines & wires and remove them. Move up EGR hose whilst loosening manifold mounting bolts. Prying front of manifold loose after removing all bolts for that purpose is now allowed. In case of 1996 or later models you will need to start from taking out upper fan shroud then move on to air cleaner assembly followed by draining cooling system plus disconnecting upper hoses from radiator as well as heater. Next unbolt EGR valve and take off ignition coil carefully. Remove small brace between intake manifold & AC compressor then turn engine to TDC for number one piston-prior to removing distributor. Old gasket material must be removed to guarantee clean mating surfaces during re-installation; apply RTV sealant if necessary. Be sure new gaskets are properly aligned when putting in place new intake manifold while sealant is still wet on it. Proceed accordingly tightening recommended sequence's bolts once more when finished reverse remaining steps beginning with starting engine thereafter checking for leaks.
