As far as intake manifold removal is concerned, I never touch the coolant tube. It doesn't get in the way for me. I have found the perfect angle to hold my tongue to get the intake manifold out. All I remove is the CAC tube and intake tube. Unbolt the manifold, and twist it out.
As far as the broken bolts go, I have been experimenting with arc welder extraction for the past 6 months or so, and honestly, I'll never drill another bolt again. The one I did last week, I broke both bolts in to the exhaust manifold, and got them out in under 10 minutes each. I found that I would spend a lot more time drilling them... Not to mention the number of drill bits you destroy on alloy bolts.
