Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement

I keep reading how easy the CPS is to change but there must be something I'm missing. I know where it's located, have the air boxes and snorkel off, but can't figure out how to get at the thing. No hand clearance to unsnap the connector and can't see a damn thing.
Any Help would be appreciated.

Checked the VMI and a new one was installed 6 years and 42,000 miles ago.

Best suggestion so far and the one I'll be following. Not as limber as I used to be. Thanks everybody!

I just did this, and was left with quite a few scratches on my arm. Only thing more you could do is remove the surge tanks and vacuum lines from the back of the supercharger plenum. I think that will give you some more room. You still won't be able to see what you are doing though, and will have to do it by feel.

Gave up and had it installed. Took the tech about 35 minutes and cost me 50 bucks. He thanked me profusely. Not.
