Another vote for the GM manuals from Helms Publishing. More money but well worth it.

I hate any book that says "install in the reverse order" Hell, I can take anything apart. Putting it back together is were I need detailed instructions.

Helms manuals must be good then, because my service manual is useless. I have both Haynes and Chiltons and can do just about anything, but neither is really all that great. Each one has its goods and bads.
