I am going to try to explain this as best as I can. I did a few things that didn't need to be done, but I had no idea what exactly I had to do. I will attempt to compile ONLY the steps required to do this job (the way I plan on doing it next time, with lessons learned in hand); however, if I skip a step or something is unclear, please let me know. I will update the OP as necessary.
I did not compile a "tools required" for this job. If you are attempting this, you probably have all of the tools required for the job. This is no easy task.
Here we go:
Remove the fuel line running from the tank to the distribution block.

2 screws hold the distribution block to the car. Remove them. Also remove the electrical plug.

Remove the RH hose clamp. DO NOT worry about the LH clamp. The rubber hose will come out with the distribution block.

Follow the fuel line from the distribution block to the LH pump. There is a clamp and a line attached to the pump. Remove both. Pull the distribution block from the engine and set aside.

Pulling the intake. Remove sensor wire and 2 clips connecting the intake tube to the filter box.

Follow the intake tube up to the throttle body and remove all hoses that are clipped to the tube. Remove clamp and vacuum line as shown.

Additional connector must be removed as well. Be careful with this (I broke mine :wall

Close-up.

Removed.

Remove the tube from the car and set it aside.
Continued.
