I think the install manual is good but it could be better. Things like a required tools list would be great. There are at least three taps that are required and even though it does say which ones are needed it would be easier to reference from a list. I think it could also include some tips for how to tighten some of the fittings that are difficult to get to or what tools can be used in certain instances. I also found that there were a few holes in the manual that were easily overcome but do cause some confusion.

These are fairly minor but thats what I can remember thinking about when I was doing the install.

I would agree there, a dedicated page for all required tools and misc purchases such as RTV, coolant, power steering fluid etc. would be great. There are also some sections that are glossed over or assumed you will figure out, but that I expected.

So I guess, going over the instructions a million times and jotting down notes, questions, possible problems, items needed, is a must, or would at least make life a little easier (I normally do this anyways). Of course the DIY's you guys have made help out a lot!
