Valve cover ?'s

I have a 86 f150, 302 w/efi, What do I need to remove to replace my valve cover gaskets? Does the intake manifold need to come off?
Any help is appreciated.

There is alot of work involved in replacing the gaskets on a EFI engine, no more is it as simple as 4 bolts and off it goes, most of the stuff thats in the way of lifting the valve covers off will have to be removed to the side to be able to do the job or removed completely to finish it.
