Default Advice on fitting injectors

I am fitting new sti pink injectors to my 02 bugeye wrx tomorrow or tuesday prior to Andy F re map on Wednesday.

Can anyone give me some tips or advice on what to remove. I am ok with depressurising the fuel system.

Do I have to remove the water header tank and power steering pump on the drivers side?

Do I have to remove the washer fluid reservoir on the passengers side?

I will be installing the uprated fuel pump and spark plugs at the same time.

All advice welcome.

Air box off from O/S, also unbolt but don't drain the turbo header tank. Battery & Washer Bottle off from N/S (Don't drain it, just plonk it on strut top).

The worst part is removing the GBOD's (Green Brackets of Doom, I kid you not).
There is a good guide here, but you don't have to take the Intercooler off as he did.

I didn't fully remove the fuel rails, just took out their securing bolts so they could be lifted high enough to ease the injectors out. There is an Aircon pipe that needs a slight tweak on the N/S to remove the GBOD (Nothing too bad though).

I would also recommend you replace the seals underneath the Injectors in the cylinder head before fitting the new ones.

Spark plugs will be easy as you have all the bits off doing the injectors.

Having the fuel level low helps when replacing the fuel pump too...
