James you will need to remove and or partially remove the air metering housing to properly install the plug wires. This can be accomplished by removing the five bolts holding the front air horn in place, idle motor assembly, throttle linkage, assorted vacuum lines and electrical connectors and injectors. This can be completed without removing any fuel lines if you plan to only lift high enough to reach the cap.

I need to take back what I previously stated James. If you are dealing with factory lines you need to fully remove the unit. Putting unwanted stress on the factory fuel lines can cause failure.
