Smile Tips and Tricks

I just got my shipment of parts for my truck and was wondering if you folks could give me some tips and tricks about how to make my install go hopefully uneventfully. The parts i am going to have to install tomorrow night are:
new GPs, new GPR, new valve cover gaskets, and new internal GP wiring harness'
I have done the relay what seems like a million times but if you have any tips please let me know. Thanks

oh oh VC i did that the other week lol. driver's side is a sench once you get that bolt in the back out, and the one under the vent on the drivers side right, about the 3rd one back needs a wrench. the back one needs a socket, then a swivel, then an extension, then the ratchet (or socket wrench which ever you prefer to call it lol). its like most things, a lil common sense and the right tools and its no prob as long as you dont get frustrated lol

also on the passenger side remove the silver insulation covering the HVAC box and under it you will find a small vacuum reservior that is held on with two screws. remove the screws and the canister. that will make clearance for easier removal
