Try this link. It's not difficult - just be sure you have a fuel line disconnect tool on hand before you start.

And use a very strong vacuum cleaner to get around the manifold prior to removal. A lot of fine sand seems to collect and when you pull it can fall into the intake ports of the heads. Vacuum the intake ports once the manifold is off as well.
As I recall, manifold needs to be removed and installed with the rear two bolts inserted so make a split rubber hose to hold them up until the manifold is in position.
