TB install

I bought a ported and polished throttle body for my Z06 off the forum this week and plan on installing this weekend. Is there any gaskets or parts that I will need ? Is this a pretty straight forward install ? Thanks in advance as I am just running this of the top of my head I havent even cracked the hood to preview the job.

If you haven't already done a throttle body bypass. Now is the time.

Biggest pain is the coolant lines, especially the one underneath. If the new TB needs the electronics from the old one, careful of the gear on the motor side.
