You disconnect at the intake manifold, and push it to the side. You leave ALL fuel system intake without disconnecting basically anything. It saves hours of work and avoids more issues with reassembly. The CIS-E system is finicky enough as it is, the more you can leave alone the better.
If you are not rebuilding the head, you don't even have to mess with timing either since you can keep the timing sprocket and chain and push it out the way also like I did. No messing with belt tensioner, nothing. Its super speedy.

You basically just disconnect the wire harness connectors that go to the temp sensors, and that's it.
