To do List

Okay guys, I have my work cut out for this weekend. As I am in the process of these things, are there any recommendations on things I should do, check or replace while I'm at it?

Here is my list:
Fuel pump
Water pump
VC gasket (found melted plug)
Possible IPR O-rings
GP's

Thanks in advance!

Okay, couple dumb questions... Is there a way to remove the dang leftside VC without moving the trans dipstick? Also, before i mess with any wiring under the VC, should disconnect the batts?

Well............You've probably got it off by now, but for the benefit of others who read this:

Start by peeling back the foil insulation on the A/C evaporator, that'll reveal the plastiv vacuum reservoir. Take out the two screws and move the res. out of the way and that will usually give you room to remove the VC. If you still have a hard time getting it around the trans dipstick remove the dipstick and stick a long screwdriver in the tube and use it as an extension of the tube. Push the tube toward the windshield to make room for the cover.

BTW that's the RIGHT side of the engine not LEFT
