I did the job exactly the same as you, but I didn't take the stop lever off. I couldn't see very well down into the IP with the intake on, but I just pulled the old one out and unhooked the little nub from the mechanism inside the IP. Then I just hooked the new one back onto the mechanism and it worked fine. I got a chunk of 2x4 just in case and disconnected the flex tube before starting. Had my brother start the car while I stood by with the block. Fortunately everything was in order and shut off perfectly.

The only pain in the butt for me was the removal of the ALDA. I had to remove the windshield washer tank and cruise actuator to get enough wrench clearance for my channel locks.

This might be good in the DIY section where there is only a 61x specific article.
