Any tips on getting the spring clamps off the hoses and broken pieces out of the hoses?

Those spring clamps do not wanna budge...hard to fit a vice grip in that small open space. My hands scraped up trying to get those clamps off to get the broken pieces out.

Remove the cross bar and the throttle body for more room.

Tried but still not enough room. Also probably doesn't help I'm limited on tools and my vice grip is prob the wrong size. Might grab one of these tomorrow...busted up my arm trying to get to them already.

You should try installing LTH's.

So... I assumed it's the leaked coolant on the header/block that's smoking.... How long is that supposed to last? Bleeding coolant and it's smoking after 5 min still. No leak and Temps seem fine.

The anti-freeze has to burn off the exhaust. Because it sprayed everywhere. You will have drips for a while. You could take a water hose and spray down the motor. The water will help remove the anti-freeze.
