P/S pulley removal help plz!

The two bolts on the bottom of the AC compressor are the same as the two on the top, so they will not come out completely until you get the engine high enough that the compressor can be pulled to the side. However, you can take off the AC and PS bracket I believe to get it out all the way without lifting the engine at all or removing it, but I don't remember for sure. Either way, it's a PITA haha.

And you don't remove the AC pulley from the compressor, leave it on. It doesn't keep the compressor from coming out.

yea the only problem with getting the bracket off is one of the top bolts is blocked by the curves of the bracket and the P/S... and yea I figured not to pull the A/C pulley

... just a few more things and its coming out.

I'll have to take a look again, I don't remember anything blocking those bolts. Hmmm
