Very good advice from xsport above noting that you'll only need one inlet manifold gasket as the RH bank manifold can remain in situ.

Mike, take you're time as dave says, use a wood wedge and hook out the remaining bit of plastic. No need to remove the inlet manifolds and increase the job. Easily done at least 100 of these over the years, never had an issue with leaks, just take you're time and be careful. Don't waste time effort and risk further issues with fuel leaks by removing the manifold.
