injector clips only go to one spot as well, and the colors alternate ;)

toyota REALLY thought out the engine wiring harness really well, if you put it in the stock location it will reach what it needs to, and only really go in one way...

The colors on mine alternate, but we've had a couple members who've had the same color clips for all of their injectors... besides, I've seen a few posts were people couldn't remember which goes first.

At any rate, it never hurts to be thorough. Especially for a newbie. ;)

Well, I did kinda cheat, I remove things in sub assemblies (especially the vaccum stuff under the intake manifold), and I took lots of pics

Hey I Forgot to mention something that Kwnate told me... You might as well replace the heater hoses at the back of the block they are a real PITA to get to otherwise and speaking of hoses might be a good idea to get a few feet of the different size hoses just in case they need to be cut or are in bad shape and inspect you oil fill hose ( the one coming from the valve cover) mine was really hard and starting to crack .You have to replace it with an oil resistant hose not just a regular water one
