There is a black wire harness bracket with 4 nuts holding it on under the TB which you should see once the black intake tubes are removed. Take that off. Then there are 2 extra nuts holding on the TB. Once these are all removed, the TB should slide out about 0.5 inches.

To totally remove it, you will need to disconnect all the vacuum lines and the 2 coolant lines. There is one under the TB by where the black wire harness bracket was which should be easy to remove. The other one runs into the TB from the side of the intake manifold/plenum and is a b**** to remove. Once this is disconnected, loosen and remove the throttle cables and slide out the TB.
