Okay gat as far as the air cleaner and the three screws for the back plate. I'm gonna have to gat a little more forcefull with the head breather bolts. When I put it back together am I going to need to get a torgue wrench for it or is as snug as I can get it acceptable. What are the chances of me snapping something by going too tight?
They be tight, no need for a torque wrench unless you're 7 foot tall and bench press 500 lbs for a warm-up
You won't snap anything but you'll strip the thread in the heads if you go all bigfoot on it...

Maybe its just the Sportster Forums but I have seen people get their panties in a wad on that very issue on this very website........its why EFI was introduced, too many people getting into fights over the subject.

Back when I was steadily working on my carb and had to pull it off I would simply use my small crescent to loosen the metal nut on the "enrichener ****" and oush it to the side so it was out of the slot then loosen off a/c and carb ,pull voes hose off and fuel line and pull it through and do reverse. Now with carb working great I don;t even set a tension on "enrichener" I pull it out to start , let go and go right to throttle. 
By the way take a pic with your phone or if your have photographic memory , keep an eye on the placement of enrichener cable and fuel line when fishing out and back in.
