Manual says that you need to replace also a throttle gasket
(number 22271-31030), and 3 intake gaskets (number 17176-31050) but I'm not 100% sure if this number contains 3 gaskets or 1.
About torques:
Bolts:
21 N*m{ 214 kgf*cm , 15 ft.*lbf **
Nuts:
16 N*m{ 163 kgf*cm , 12 ft.*lbf **
P.S. One strange thing that I came across:
My IS250 (2007 year) doesn't have this tube connection. Why could that be?

Checked it with spare parts catalog and seems like it is special intake for USA:
Toyota - 17190-31070 - Tank assy, intake air surge
all other euro\japan versions has another number:
Toyota - 17190-31040 - Tank assy, intake air surge.
BTW how this thing helps with cold start on the engine with direct injection?

Oh sorry, I assumed you were in North America...
As for how it helps, I'm not 100% sure, but it seems Toyota wanted to get some fuel into the air before the cylinders for some reason. They don't need have it on the 350 at all (they use 12 injectors, 6 direct port, 6 in the plenum).
Toyota used to always have cold start injectors on their engines, but they got rid of them in the early-mid 90's because of better EFI/injector control. I don't know exactly why they'd want to add it again with direct port.

Thanks Jeff!
For someone that has never worked on pre-1975 cars, this was fairly simple. The only thing that ticked me off was the bolt holding the manifold closest to the firewall.... and misreading Jeff's response to my question ( I read 18 ft lb instead of 13 ft lb
)
When removing the gas line, note two things: The gas line is under pressure (for all those who like to smoke and work on cars) and there is a washer between the gas line and the manifold that can easily be dropped if you just pull the bolt out.

Wow! This definitely looks like a daunting task and I am really NOT looking forward to it! As it is I get lazy taking out all the darn clips for the engine covers and putting them back in! Poo!
Thanks for the write-up though! It's going in my bookmarks for future reference
