air gap install, guide pins on deck!!!

Im glad you guys are around, well my intake doesn't lay in the valley because there are two I guess guide pins maybe for a stock intake. Wierd, I don't remember these on my last dart years ago when I put new intake. So being that this is an area that needs to stay nice and flat, what do I do to get these puppies gone? Cut, can they be pulled? This bites. Thanks guys
