Plenum Install

I'm away to Spa at the end of this week (can't wait!) Anyway I am about to install the new air intake plenum as supplied by Don (Dgreen78) before I head off. Both Don and Alex (Shark) have passed on useful tips but does anyone have any pics of a motor with stock plenum on it? I just want to see exactly what I am cutting out as it is such a tight space, and if anyone has any further tips this would be great! Thanks

You don't have to, but it is a royal PIA to guide it out.

Does anyone have an estimated time on taking out old plenum and replacing?
