Intake is easy, pop the fuel rail off (2 bolts, pull gently, place it out of the way and don't bust the injectors on anything) and 10ish nuts to remove. Remove the hood and cowl to make the rear-most easier.
If you haven't pulled the hood/cowl, you should, because it'll make actual head removal possible.
Since he's outside the hood should probably stay on, but you should remove the cowl so the head can come straight off the block, lest you fuck over your timing guide rails.
Isn't there some weird push-clip thing that connects the fuel rail to the car on the OBD-II cars?
