to remove, just bolted down, be careful not to damage formed hoses (check them for leaks/cracks while you're there. It's right on top of engine front, dead center. Somewhere on this site is discussion about a modification to the ICV hose involving a small jumper that helped out my 380SE - Your 87 may have it (from the factory) Do a search for the mod if you don't have it already.
