update
so I was able to get the oil filler tube off without taking off the intake. once you take off the resonance tube you can easily access the one bolt. the second one (under the alternator) is more difficult. I used a flexible extension to get it most of the way up, once it gets to a certain point, the extension won't work because there is no longer enough clearance (the back mount of the alternator blocks it). from that point I used a crowsfoot wrench to slowly work it the rest of the way and a magnetic pick up to grab it.
That being said, not sure getting that bolt back in will be very easy. however, it seems to me that removing the alternator would be a better option than removing the intake.
hopefully when I remove the alternator I will be able to see where the mystery vacuum hose goes.
