Can I disconnect the CTS and/or the cold start injector without taking off the plenum

Topic says it all. It doesn't look like it's possible, but I don't know if there is a trick to getting under there.

Also, how do you take off the plenum? I can get those top bolts off (duh) but what else needs to come off? the TV cable and throttle linkage? Gimme a how-to break-down on this, I'm slow...

Heh, shoulda specified, I need to take them out. The CTS is next on my tentative 'to-replace' list... Also, I need to take the cold start injector out to see if it leaks...

Someone wanna give me a run down on how to take the plenum off anyway, it's going to have to come off sooner or later for new injectors...

take off plastic thing from TB to intake.. remove nuts that hold the compressor support bracket, and back the bolt out of the back of the compressor. the belt guard in front will come off. take off the throttle cable and TV cable (if u have an auto). then just unbolt all the bolts. take off the vacuum hoses in back 2... then carefully pull it up.

No problem... just as some advice, leave the TB on, save urself a gasket.
