Rooster,
I replaced mine a few months ago without removing the large intake hoses but I did remove the engine access behind the seats because it wanted to ensure that the hose will be properly connected to the breather valve on the crankcase.
Also as Gelbster mentioned, be careful with the small vacuum hoses and the electric connector (fuel breather valve?) that it is on the way of the AOS hose, just take your time and ensure with a mirror that the o-ring at both ends of the hose sits inside the connector all the way around.
Good luck!
