Exactly how ya do it, label everything, and take lots of pictures(digital or poloroid), so you dont have to remember where everything goes. Try to remove things in assemblies, instead of unbolting every little part, ie, upper intake and Tb+inlet hose. Accesories still attached to brackets if possible. Get the fan and radiator out of the way first, so nothing bumps it and puts a hole in it. Ive got the spring lock tools if you dont have those available(for releasing fuel and A/C lines)

And spray a lot of PB Blaster or GM Heat valve lubricant on all your exhaust connections.
