Help on valve cover gasket replacement

i have a 1991 camaro RS with a 3100 V-6. I went to auto zone and bought some new valve cover gaskets, but, the problem is i don't know how to take the injector stuff off of the engine to get down to the valve covers. i don't know to much about taking injectors apart so any help will be appreciated.

Take the upper part of intake off.

Take long screw driver, and gently pry on the fuel rail, it should pop out.

remove lower intake

Then you should have access to valve covers.

Also, a haynes or chiltons manual should have better step by step.

On the thin sheet metal valve covers make sure the edge is good straight, not bent or wavy.
Take a hammer (tap lightly!) to the metal cover sealing edge to correct any previous damage, to get best gasket seal.
