No - just the small cover just adjacent to the cam bolt. If I remember it was just 4 or 5 small screws. Very easy to remove. It's the drivers side that is a PITA. It was hard for me to understand that you had to remove the drivers seat to get to something that was outside of the cockpit

Ill have to look at that area again. Hmm 4 to 5 screw sounds like the blower motor back side. Been there done that

I'm just waiting for Jeff to jump in here (once he gets up) and say what a total idiot I was for tackling something like this with little or no experience. We had quite a few "chats" on the phone regarding the removal of the covers. He might change his mind about helping novice mechanics after working with me He'll have a requirement that states "you must have some knowledge before working on your vehicle". All kidding aside, without Jeff's help my Z would still be in pieces. He has the patience of a Saint.

LOL,no worries Bob. Working on cars takes patience.


List

1) AC/Heater box cover (held on by 5 screws)
2) Spark plug wires (flop them over the top of plenum)
3) Fuel feed and return lines
4) Remove coolant outlet tube (drain some coolant!)
5) First bolt on injector housing
6) Loosen bolt on alternator
7) Remove Cam cover vent tube
8) Remove 27 bolts from cam cover
9) Pry cam cover up

I give this post....
three thumbs up.
now, my problem is
even with the correct info.
I'd probably lose a screw here or there
but i'd get it off, my main phobia, would
be to re-istall all those parts.
thanks for the great info, Jeff
