Default Air tube removal question

I'm deleting the air pump / system during my header / clutch installation. I've already removed the pump and hoses on the driver's side. Since I have the torque tube dropped, I was actually able to reach the 13mm bold behind the manifold from underneath the car, it was just above the bellhousing.




I'm having trouble removing the line now that it's free. It seems like the bulky part of the hose is getting caught between the wire loom near the bellhousing. Any suggestions other than removing the intake manifold or cutting the pipe?

Pulling the intake is probably the easiest way to do it

The remaining hose is pretty big, and still has the bracket attached
Crossover connection

Behind the intake

I had my intake off when I pulled mine, it might get dicey with the wiring harnesses back there, and there's a tiny vacuum line into the back of the intake that might get disconnected if you force it

Thanks for the pics, that's actually really helpful. I also didn't know about the vacuum line so I'll have to check make sure I take care of it.
