Leave the intake manifold on it. Just make sure you undo the bracket that bolts the IM to the block.

Be sure to remove the clamp on the lower side of the PCV tube underneath the intake manifold. That's the only one I missed last time.

Don't mess with the top of the tube where the PCV valve fits in. It's likely to be very brittle.

What year is your Accord? The intake manifold setup differs changed between '86-'87 and '88-'89. My comments refer to the 88-89. The older one was a bit easier to pull.
