Intake manifold - remove/replace

I am attempting to replace my intake manifold with a ported and polished mani this weekend.

Has anyone removed their manifold? Any tips/tricks or special tools/materials I need?

I found it online at some link... I think they have a few more at both polished and ported/polished. Factory manifold, just has some work put into it.
