I wouldn't wish this job on ANYONE! It's a real pain in the butt! The alternator is waaayyy in back on the left side facing the engine. the front pivot is there BUT they don't tell you about the two bolts underneath and in back. They're about an inch and a half from the firewall. A 13mm ratchet just about fits. Now I see why the GM techs get the big bucks! The intake manifold bolts have a 10mm hex head and look almost like a 1/4-20 bolt. I used a 1/4 inch ratchet to crack free the bolts and they came off by the fingers the rest of the way. Torqueing specs say tighten to 62 in-lbs. That's not much! Now to clean it up and wait for MONEY!!!
