Carb removal on a 79-40

[Coolcruiserfj402]

Couldn't remember my login for my old name but long time mudder. I've never had a 40 this new. It's a 1979 I'm trying to pull the carb it still has all the smog. I took off the intake I labeled all the lines any tips and tricks on getting it off the intake. Looks like lots of lower line I can't reach with out the carb being free? Might sound like a dumb question but I've never dealt with a 40 with smog

I'll look it up when I get to work and download it. I'm surprised I can even get mud to load right now the cell towers are all down because of the fires here

Smokey here from all the fires, hard to see the elk bugling.

There's 4 studs sticking up out of the intake manifold that go thru 4 holes in the base of the carb, 4 nuts (probably 12mm) hold the carb down.
Just keep taking smog stuff off until you can get a wrench on those 4 nuts.

That's what I've been doing didn't know if there was anything besides the obvious. I'm used to a wide open engine bay not the bowl of spaghetti
