No,
I pulled out my IGNITION MODULE PLATE (3 bolts 13mm.) with all attached. Then, I disconnected the others things.
(It was for a FWD V6 2.8l).
Regards.

Please,
Note in my case, the pieces included were:
1. Coils attached with 5.5 mm bolts to the ignition module.
2. Ignition module attached to the ign. mod. PLATE.
3. Ignition module PLATE attached with 13mm. bolts to the engine.
Then, I pulled off the complete package (1,2 &3) from the engine, washed the plate and replaced the ignition module (using the dielectric grease and the 5.5 mm socket) "off the vehicle".
Then, I installed the new complete package using the 13 mm. socket again.
(the 5.5 mm. socket was necesary too).
