Just so happens that I have my '99 disassembled. The top bolts looked like I was going to forget their location so I stuck them into cardboard. Any nuts from those posts I put them on. At least you have an idea about this group. The bottom of the picture is the front of the engine.

The lower 8 bolts are all the same size so I figure you must know where those go. Any others locations you need info? (Assuming you are working on a 4.3)

I have a series of pictures that I took while disassembling everything. I can e-mail you those if you think that might help.

I don't recall any differences in the bolts that hold the metal manifold on. Just make darn sure that you have the heads and manifold squeaky clean, and that the RTV sealer used across the end seals goes at least 1/2" up on the gaskets at each side. Set the manifold IN PLACE without moving it around, and torque carefully.

My write-up on this is in the DIY section.

 

dam that was a lucky break for you there
