Once you take the air bridge off it is only three bolts and a clamp. It's pretty straight forward.

As stated, its easy. Some have a coolant line to it as well which means you'll need to lower the coolant level first.

It's a little more complicated than that.... It's four bolts (10mm) that attach the throttle body to the plenum, three vacuum lines, the IAC electrical connection, the TPS electrical connector, the throttle cable, the transmission kick down cable linkage, and of course the two coolant lines that heat the throttle body if they haven't already been bypassed. These instructions are for a L98 V8
