Got the head and intake manifold off tonight, took me about 3 hours. Not too bad considering it's my my first time doing the timing belt stuff with the motor in the car.

This also exposed all the brake lines in the engine bay so I decided to start on the ABS delete. I got the lines off the master, and removed all the lines to the proportioning valve. Now I just need to get to the store and get a 10mm flare wrench so I can remove the rusty front brake lines from the SS lines in the wheel wells. Should have that done tomorrow, and install the new non-ABS lines I got from Mitsu.

How do I get the ABS unit out of the fender area? Do I have to remove the bumper cover to get to all the bolts?

Anyone else care to comment on the crank scraper? I'm not really sure what it's benefits are, and if I'll actually need one making around 400-450 hp.
