There really aren't any tips to give. It's a fairly straight forward R&R job. Just, drain the coolant, label and disconnect/remove the COPs, vacuum hoses, wiring, and fuel lines. After that remove the bolts and lift off the intake. Clean the surfaces, replace the hose, install new gaskets, and put it all back together again. I would change the spark plugs while you're in there if they have over 50K miles on them.
