Just pull off the fuel line and undo the hose clamps on the air hose and remove the mounting bolts to the manifold and carburetor then rip the bitch right out - no need to take the airbox off or anything like that. As far as the throttle cable you can just remove it from the carb (undo the cover where the cable goes in and remove the end from the little hole in the throttle arm) or you can do the same thing to the throttle housing if you don’t want to mess with the carb in that area (housing can be a little easier).
