Hardest part might be reaching behind to take off EGR connections. Nothing real special about doing this job. Also, might be a little tough lifting off the intake if the old RTV is still a bit stuck... I used a pry bar.
No need to drain coolant, as LT1 intake is dry.
One tip from me: for installing the intake, you want to set it straight down, so as not to mess up the RTV bead... so, buy a couple bolts from the hardware store that are the same thread... and cut off the heads- then thread them in on the front of the engine... slide the intake down over them... install the rest of the bolts loosely, then remove the headless bolts... install the last 2 intake bolts and torque everything in order to specs
common SAE/metric wrenches/sockets & the fuel line disconnect & a torque wrench that has 'low' in-lb ratings.
