Default Blackwing Install

sorry if this question sounds dumb...but this is the first time I'm taking a tool to my corvette. I'm going to try to install a Blackwing filter and the instructions are a bit vague (to me anyway). Do I get rid of the factory filter cover completely or does the Blackwing filter get installed inside of it? Thanks in advance for any tips, help, and response. I'd hate to screw this up. :confused:
