I got this, but am afraid to install it. The bolts you remove are holding part of the cooling system together. Plus, the vacuum tubes run all over it.

It's an easy install, don't sweat removing the coolant bolts everything stays put with no leaks. I routed my lines in their original position, but the one plastic line clamp you have to remove on the alternator i just flipped it around so that the little grommet that stuck in the alternator housing now holds it under the cover on the back side...hope that makes sense.

This is a PDF of my install. http://netwelding.com/Engine_Compartment.pdf

The only thing I found that was a bit tricky was the need for a right angle #30 Torx to make it easier to remove and tighten one bolt. Found a cheap set on Amazon, worked fine.

No Steven,

I'll shoot them a note and see if they can snap a pic of the
net one they make.

Sorry for the late reply, I missed your question

No worries, sir! I have a Halltech cold air intake. Will these fit with that in place so close to the alternator?
