99 intake manifold fitment on 95

I've seen a lot about grinding down some on the intake in order to fit am APN header ... Anyone have a right up or pictures specific to this?

I can't find any pictures, but when I did mine it just required a quick test fit to find the interference. I used a dremel to take a few thousandths off at a time (this was on the #6 runner) and recheck. Once you have it in, it is pretty easy to see the problem area and takes about 5 minutes to fix.
I'll see if I can find the pics I took when I was doing it.

I'm pretty sure you have to upgrade your power steering assembly to the 96+ version too.

This help? It's a Renix intake that was modded to work with an aftermarket header.
