some people say the best way is to pull the headlight.  they're probably
right.  I managed it the other day by undoing the rubber hose to
throttle body hose clamp to allow maximum lift range for the FI stuff,
coaxed the old one out and the new one in.  of course I have the AC
delete option which makes for a bit more room in that area (onmy 82
anyway)

getting that headlight out is a task in itself, only four screws after
the trim is off, but it's a chinese puzzle to wriggle it in and out.
