Whatever you do, don't remove the intake plenum. When they're all attached to the plate you won't break any of the crossover tubes. A heat gun or...
You are a strange, albeit occasionally amusing, cat.
On the older models there is a tach signal wire. Yellow with a green stripe if I recall. Maybe it broke it's connection somewhere.
