Default '97 Monte Carlo Camshaft Sensor

I had a diagnostic done on my monte carlo and they said it was the camshaft sensor. I purchased the part and thought I could change it myself. After looking at the motor I am a bit confused on how to change it. Can anyone offer any kind of help as to how to change it?

Also, if I take the intake manifold off will I need a seal or gasket?

Any help would be appreciated as I am a single mom. I used to do motor's with my dad when I was a kid, but it's been to long to remember...

3.1L? Leave intake on. Remove PS pump.

Yes, it's a 3.1L engine. Will I have to take the pulling off to get the Power Steering pump off?

thanks,

If pulley has holes in it, remove belt & rotate pulley to get bolts through holes. If no holes, you need puller.
