Many steps have been skipped over because i was to lazy and excited to take pictures of them. what i can describe in the removal process is that its extremely easy! Take your time, make lots of bags for parts, label everything as we have been and you should be just fine. Taking lots of pictures helps too!

|Remove the Throttle linkage.
Notice how everything on the right is labeled and moved over to make room.

Should have enough room where the battery and intake was to stick your hands in and remove the backside cabling, this includes mostly heater hoses, pressure lines (fuel), ground on the transmission, starter cable, and the alternator cable(probably go from the right side).

If you already havent done so, remove the power cable(s) from the main fuse box. There are two cables, one from the battery and starter, and one main one that is connected to the long harness. remember where these go as you will need to reinstall them in the correct locations. If you are planning on rewiring your battery to the trunk like i am then this is a good time to inspect the cable and decide how you wanna proceed with the relocation.
