All, I have a 96 12V auto, and decided to replace the exhaust manifold. I have 10 of 12 manifold bolts out, and have a couple of questions about the last 2. The Coolant lines from the heater core (I think) are in the way, but I am not completely sure how to remove them. Do I need to? Can I even get the manifold out without removing those lines?
There are some stock photos attached. It is too dark for me to take any, but I will tomorrow.
Thanks!

I'm amazed that I got no replies. I was able to pull the manifold without removing the heater lines. I believe that the instructions that you find most places will tell you to remove the oil drain from the turbo early in the process. I did it last, and that was a poor choice.

 

Good to hear you removed it with no issues. Which manifold did you go with?
