Exhaust manifold removal

[emperor_lunchbox]

OK, I started tearing down my new (old) motor. I ran into trouble. the pipe that comes off of the Exh. mani and goes around to the Intake mani, how do you remove the flat piece that has all the lines in it. I think its the fuel pressure regulator (*think*)I was wondering if I can cut those lines, Will they be hard to replace?I (*think*) they are fuel lines....

Give me a pic...To remove the mani I used a sawzall on the exhaust side.Cut that pipe closest to the intake side as I could.Then I removed the 3 bolts on the egr and was able to pull it out.

actually, the motor is out of the car and I got the mani off. The next problem is getting the motor on the stand without a hoist....I cant get a hoist on to my patio....
