Default RAM AIR MANIFOLDS in a GTO

It would be much easier to remove the bolts afterwards when I have more room to work with my bag of bolt removal tricks.

It looks like the engine will clear to me. The car does have the original A/C setup, but I don't think the suitcase presents any issues.

What say those of you that have done it?
