Default The two coolant hoses under Manifold

Bought this car for $750. Three weeks ago seems to be pretty good pick it up at the shop where the customer had brought it in with a coolant leak the customer decided not to have it fixed because of the shop prices and sold it to me lucky me.

The leak is by the throttlebody one or both of the hoses under the manifold. How long does it take to switch these out? Can I leave the throttlebody hooked up to the manifold while taking it out? Should I seek psychiatric treatment? This car came with an empty gas tank. Excellent tires 13 years old. And a new battery the inside is real nice and the outside is just painted fading.

Cheap car, it's not a long job compared to supercharged, just do yourself a favour and fit oe parts inc inlet plenum gaskets or you'll be chasing air leaks next.
