The GM one Dupree is offering is plug and play. Make sure you get the GM intake gaskets to, the aftermarket ones are hit or miss, I bought a set of aftermarkets and couldn't get them to stay in the intake long enough to bolt it down, thought I had it and one popped out didn't notice it, started the car and had a bad vacuum leak because the intake cut the gasket. Bought GM they stay in like a charm. You might get lucky and not have to change them too just depends on whether or not they a smashed once the intake comes off.

Another pit fall is the oil pressure sending unit, when you pull the intake makes sure it only comes up and forward, if you let the intake go back toward the fire wall the sending unit will break, and you will be out another 50 dollars to replace it.
