Leaking intake

Leaking intake
I just discovered a small puddle of oil up on my intake. Guess I've got a bad gasket or a crack in there. So, my question is, how difficult is it to take off/replace the intake w/ TPI? Is it a simple bolt off/torque on type deal or is there more to it? Do the injectors need to come out, too?

If you have never replaced an intake manifold before, a TPI setup is kind of intense for the first time. The trottle body, plenum, runners, distributor, fuel rails, & injectors must be removed. Before contemplating doing this, clean off everthing & determine the source of the oil leak. Nothing comes to mind as to what would cause a leak "on the manifold". Usually it's the case of oil leakage at the end seals of the manifold. Take a second look before you leap.
