I used the pet drawings from autoatlanta for part numbers.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm going in to do a bunch of upper engine work. More pix to follow as the project moves forward. I'm glad that I am able to do the work on a great car.
Im going in!
What did you use a guide. I've got all the books. I'm a slow but steady kind of guy so i've got time. The parts aren't even here yet. I'm just taking things aparts.
The plan is to take off the intake manifolds. I'd like to avoid that if at all posible, but i don't think that it is.
Best!
Have you considered doing an SAI delete? Would allow you to remove the pump, the plumbing, and relocate the vacuum canister to where the pump used to be. Of course, would also require a modification to the DME tune/bin file.

Oh and do yourself a favor look up the uaos for the aos replacement. Do it and u will never have to get to the back side of the motor again to change it.
I picked this back up this weekend. A buddy of mine and I got the left intake manifold off yesterday and pulled out the Secondary Air System valve, vacuum system, and the Air Oil Separator. Not too bad of jobs to do. I think this car is easier than working on GM products. I was a lot cleaner at the end of the day too. Overall I'm very happy with our progress.
Look for more pix soon. Yay!
I made it all the way to the back. Got both intake manifolds off. The right one was in a way more difficult because of the AC compressor. Injectors are out. Now sorting out parts. Many things are different than whats in the books
The fuel rail was different than anything i could find. Only one supply with no return line.
This cap didnt show up either. I took it off to get the coolant expansion tank out. There seems to be several odd things about this car.
You Tube
This is by far the best how to video I've seen. It has really helped me get the intakes, and everything else, back on the car. Thank you FCPEuro!
Not this time around. Basically working on the top half of the engine.
Both of those items were replaced about 20K miles ago. The plan is to do them again next season.
Good luck!
I did the similar top side work last winter,
UAOS,
Replaced all fuel injectors,
Replaced all vacuum lines,
Rebuilt the Starter,
Replaced Starter/Alternator Y cable (with custom heavier gauge),
New gaskets on intakeNew cross-over AOS vent tube (which had a leak),
Between this forum, the Bentley book, and the parts diagrams, I had all the information I needed.
I got everything back together yesterday and it started! I cranked for a few seconds with nothing. Paused for a moment and it started on the second attempt. It would have been trying to get fuel into the injectors.
I didn't find low coolant to be too much of an issue from only draining from the engine. I was expecting there to be lots of burping and the coolant tank to run low. I did not bleed the cooling system with vacuum, but simply left the tab open on the tank. Ended up putting about 2 gallons back in. I'll be monitoring that for the next couple short trips.
Yay!
