Hi 2004H and others,,,
The first item on the agenda for any Mod is to disconnect the battery (-). Once the power is OFF, you can start looking at one item to do at a time. You may select to do the Intake filter box to a CAI. Look at how the OEM item is mounted then start dismantling. You may want to jot down the steps and bag your bolts, hanger and brackets for future re-installs. Once you have something removed, it will then give you the room and an opportunity to explore at different items to either replace or relocate.
In my endeavors, I ordered many engine Mod and replacement parts when I was O/seas (Afghanistan). Once home; one by one, I installed them.
Again, to get one started; look at what you want to do, RESEARCH all forums and other Websites for INFO, then attack the task. Do not be afraid to move something, change an item, or to experiment.
One word of caution, when modding an electrical component, you may trigger a Code Light. If this happens you may want to get a Code Reader and see what it says, then Clear the codes so the S will start.
Much success in your Mods.
Cheers, EagleDon
