don't see why not, I went over the how-to and it is pretty straight forward, saw it done once also, it isn't that bad, just take your time

It's a little more involved than a brake job, but nothing you can't do on your own. if anything, just start it early in the morning to give yourself the whole day to work on things, and let the intake manifolds soak. Get yourself a TON of shop towels, some Valvoline carb cleaner, and all of your gaskets. Just be patient taking the intake manifolds off if you've never done it. Definitely refer to the how-to if you get stuck.

Its really not that hard...just time consuming. Take everything off slowly and lay it out in order. If something won't come off easily, don't force it. Stop and think about why it isn't coming off. Do a search and review the past 6 months CEG postings on UIM/LIM cleans. Lotsa good tips in there. The re-tourque everything properly.
Also, while your UIM/LIM is off, may be a good time to replace plugs and O2s.

goonz..if your uim/lim looked that bad your heads/valves are no way shape or form clean...you should've taken a small flashlight and looked deep into the heads,i bet the valves were all gunked up....you've seen how ryan took care of his car/engine,when i pulled that engine you should've seen the buildup on top of the valves..it looked just like the adv. pics you see in parts stores for intake cleaners,nasty,but thats just me
...also it really isnt time consuming unless your pulling the lim,in which case you need to be careful of the fragile wire harness...you should be able to have all the manifolds pulled off in 10 mins or less
