Interesting topic. I replaced my AOS on my '01 Boxster back in February. The car was starting to blow a puff or two of smoke every 2 or 3rd start. Car had 61k miles and no record of it every being replaced.
I am fortunate to have a lift and removed the rear wheels. I spent about 20 minutes visualizing where all the connections were located.
Removal and reinstall took about 2 hours taking my time. Like Jeff, I used dielectric grease on all the snap-on connectors.
I must have got it right because no vacuum leaks or issues. Plus, no more smoke on start up.
My "learning" was the next time I take it to my indie. YMMV.
