Removing Intake Manifold

I Need to remove my intake manifold in order to clean oil from a previous leak that accumulated under the manifold and it burns and smokes when the engine gets hot.
1. Is it a matter of just removing the bolts that hold it in and anything else in the way?
2. Is there anything special I need to do before putting the manifold back in place.

If you find out, let me know. I would like to remove my intake manifold too (but just to clean, look around, etc).

For removal, I think its just the 8 bolts but I found some pictures that might give you some ideas:
SVX Thread #38870 : Picture1 : Picture2

When putting back together I think you'd at least want to replace the 2 gaskets.


Please take pictures when you do.
Cheers!

Whwn lifting it off it's really easy to break the little plastic hose connection on expensive sensor under manifold.
