There's no reason not to start by mounting the IC. You have to tear the front end apart, cut holes, make mounting brackets, etc. You need the IC mounted anyway in order to fab the pipes. Mine took me a few weeks to finish, I just covered the IC ports with duct tape until I was ready to install the pipes. Lots of pics and links on IC installs here if you do some searching.

i didn't get to take as many pics as i wanted to, but the install took me 3 days of working on it everyday pretty much all day.

i did have to mod the hood latch... BARELY!!! it just barely hit with where i put the IC, but i wish i woulda pushed the IC up a little bit more and pushed the IC a little more toward the radiator b/c its a little rough trying to tighten the IC clamps at the cooler.
so, put your IC as close as you can to the radiator and everything. try to get the ends to go as far in the engine compartment as you can so you can tighten those clamps
