Sorry, I've whitelisted your address.  I'm a little aggressive
with my spam filtering.  It appears an IP address in your ISP's
range has recently been listed in Sorbs.

As for the intake assembly, I've found installing the complete
EGR valve assembly after bolting up the manifold and plenum the
easiest.  It might seem like there isn't much room with the
brake booster in the way but I've always been able to fit a
deep well socket and ~3" extension in there with the ratchet
pointing up right at the brake booster.  Sometimes it takes a
little persuasion to make the flange on the intake plenum line
up but nothing that can't be done by hand.  It helps to leave
the nuts for the head side of the valve lose until you get the
plenum side lined up.

I usually lay out the bolts to the intake plenum and vacuum
hardlines beforehand so they're ready to go.  Then install
just making sure the vacuum lines are out of the way.  Once
the plenum is bolted up then I route the vacuum lines.  For
the VSV's it helps to leave one hose on the VSV and the other
on the hardline, that way you don't have to trace them out.

Most people usually end up bypassing the throttle body
coolant lines eliminating that headache.  If they are
retained I set the intake plenum on top of the intake
manifold and lean it back to connect the hoses, then
lift the plenum back up and set it down on the studs.

I've done quite a few 7M swaps and HG's this way.
