help with 420a intake manifold removal

[samsdsm]

i need to know what all need to be removed and how many bolts there is to remove the intake manifold from my 98' 420a. i removed all 8 bolts from the block on the lower half of the manifold and there is a plastic cover/bracket underneath and i removed the bolt out of it and the bolt out of the bracket on drivers side but still cant get the manifold to come free.

There should be 2 metal brackets (I think 2 bolts each) that support the manifold and are bolted to the block...Very hard to see/remove but they're there!
