Try picking up a Haines manual at your local parts store, I have one for my firebird, and it has several pics etc. that may help you, also if you have any more specific questions let me know, I have the exact same motor in mine I'll see if I can help.

I have a Chilton's manual the pics are mostly for V-8's and older V-6's. If there is any way you send a picture of your engine I would appreciate it. We are stuck on the position of the bolts on the exhaust manifold.

I can definately help you with that, I'm installing headers right now, so I have those bolts pulled out. Are you keeping the stock A.I.R. system on your car? I'll also see what I can do about getting you a picture from before I took it all apart.
