Topic: 3800 series II 1997 transition year

So...too long a story to get into (mgiht involve midgets, involves my ex wife) but I am about to temporarily own a 1997 Lesabre.  They have the notorious upper and less notorious lower intake manifold issues.  Any way to preemptively order the lower intake manifold gasket without tearing it apart when the options are "2nd Design w/ end seal locating pins" or " Int. Gasket; w/o Guides On Ends"?

Not a great solution but one I have formerly employed.

One we all have employed at one time or another....
