It's not hard to do...I'd have pics but I didn't get around to the hose delete quite yet.

if yoiur looking at getting rid of the snake mess undr the manifold and all the throttle body heater worthless junk, Id say about 2 hours, not counting time for running to pick up parts such as gaskets, heater hose and vac hose

more if your gonna clean parts while

someone might say faster, someone longer dut depends on skills, attitude

Id service the icv whiel its out, its easy to do

check out tjts1 threads at R3v. thers plenty of info and pics to help

or this thread on this forum , good pics, but hes replacing crap that is junk, follow the pics at this thread and the ones on delete throtlle body
