? None of the "gen 2" sixes use an integral int/exh, far as
I know.  On the old iron manifolds, they are bolted together
to do that manifold heat thing, but you can remove the exh and
put headers under it.

The 80? -up manifolds don't bolt together, the int heating
is water plus electric. EGR bolts onto the int, and there's
a steel pipe from the exh into the EGR valve; it's easiest to
remove them as a pair from the motor because of that pipe but
you could undo it (1" wrench) and take out the intake.

I'll takes some photos of my setup this weekend.
