trying not to tear up too much during my maggie install, how does the plug release on top of the oil pressure sending unit?

I can't remember, but it isn't much different than the rest of the plugs on the car. Some have the green keeper. Had mine off 4 or 5 times now. Flip up green tab and squeeze if it is the same as the others. Get a light in there and you will figure it out.

one more quick question, why do the heater hoses get swapped out? ive read the instructions and dont really understand the change

i believe that there is a grey locking tab on it, you just push the grey locking tab up and pinch the connector and it should come off.

As they are from the factory, they will interfere with the mounting of the supercharger. The OEM hoses are routed across the top of the intake manifold.
