UPDATE:
Just finishing replacing the valve, and thankfully, it was a lot easier than I had anticipated. From start to finish, about an hour. Here are a few tips just in case anyone else needs to tackle this project:
1. As I think San Rensho stated in his earlier thread, a pair of 90 deg angle needlenose pliers are really helpful for removing the clamp that connects the valve to rubber hose that runs to the throttle body.
2. I was able to remove and refasten the little 8 mm screw clamp on the underside of the intake without too many profanities. I only dropped the screw once.
3. There is no need to remove the bulkhead panel in the cockpit. You can very easily access the opposite end of the valve connection by putting the car on stands. You'll need to remove the aft-most underbody cover for access. The valve connection is on the driver's side. It is immediately adjacent to another similar connection, but it's very easy to just trace back to make sure you're pulling the correct connector. In the photo, I've circled the Regen valve connection. I believe the other line connection is for fuel return.
