It's pretty straightforward for removing, and there are several threads detailing the process and the parts you need. It's been a couple since I did it, and I don't remember exactly. You can order the 'keychains' from WitsEnd, and some have moved the O2 sensors to the manifold location with no issues. I didn't. Then you'll need a cap the right size to fit over the intake into the air filter housing. I used a plastic cap from large mouth oil bottle and some RTV sealant...worked perfectly. One Mud member used a taco bell salsa cap...also fit perfectly. As others have said, you don't have to upgrade to the 95-97 hardpipe, you can use a 5/8 gates green stripe. I upgraded to make it look cleaner and it bolted right on, but it was a pricey part. The accel cable bracket was hardest to get my hands on...not many were available in US at the time, but you can mod something up to make it work, I just wanted clean OEM look and function. My '94 idles perfectly now after removal, so I'm sure I had some vacuum leak or reed valve was shot or something, and you'll have a lot more space under there. Once I got parts it took all of an hour to get it all removed and updated. You'll want to soak the manifold bolts prior to attempting to back them off to add the plates.
