I've got everything unbolted pretty much, what is the easiest way to get about removing the intake? I've left the runners intact for now, I don't need to deal with more pieces rolling around 
Thanks!

Water line? Err.. I didn't know about that, maybe I shouldn't have refilled the radiator then. I think its still hung up on a bunch of vacume lines, not sure which I can skip or not. The throttle body is holding me up right now I think, there's real thick rubber tube connected to it I just can't get off. Any way to coax it off without breaking it?

are you trying to take the TB off with the intake???
if you are not, all you need to disconnect are the 2 coolant lines that go to the spacer between the IABV, and the intake. then you can pick the intake up, and slide it out towards the passenger side... this is easier with 2 poeple... but still do-able with one. this way you dont have to worry about throttle linkaged, or the TB coolant lines, until later. Then you can get a clear shot at them.. if you want to do the TB coolant bypass.

One question, whats the IABV? Whats it look like and stuff? And I'm leaving the throttle body on the car, the gasket held up fine so I'm going to reuse it. Nothing stuck to the intake oddly enough

I can't say I found a single thing for IABV, I'm just a dunce

I used this guy's site. What a lifesaver to see each step illustrated so nicely. I'm sure it will help you too.

Doh! 
I didn't know it was just that little thing. I think I did disconnect it, but I'll see if its not, its just being a real pain right now, but its for a good cause I guess. No more oil leaks.. yay

isn't a teen :D
dont worry too much about the coolant lines on the TB, i cut one of mine getting my intake off the first time...but it didnt matter, since i just bypassed the coolant that runs through the TB anyways...
As for the big hose on the bottom of the TB..i removed the nuts and bolts that hold the TB to the intake, then just pulled like mad...using a flat head screwdriver to pry the hose off the TB (after sliding the clamp down first). More pulling like mad and the TB just slipped off the hose.

It sounds like you're having trouble with the large breather hose that is connected to the bottom of the throttle body. It is a pain to get off. I always lift the TB side of the intake up a bit and then coax the hose off with a large flat-head screwdriver.
