Not hard work, just piece by piece. If I remember correctly, these pieces had to be removed to get access to the cooler: (disconnect battery first) generator coil dist(?) disconnect fuel line to 3/4 intake runners and f/i parts from 3/4 engine tin (only 1 bolt required crawling under the car) The little bolt/screws for the tin could consume most of your time if they are stuck in place. Not a bad job, just tedious. Dave
