Take pictures of the current installation. It will help you when you go to put all the vacuum lines back in place. Also, label the vacuum lines, trans, advance, PCV. brake, etc. Just get everything as clean as you can. Use a shop vac to clean out the lifter valley. I used Dick Paterson's gasket set with the SS block-off plates. It is the proper thickness, and I felt that the plates would protect the aluminum manifold from the extreme exhaust heat.
