The first time I did a fuel pump on a Corvette w/ A/C, looked the situation over & pulled the right front tire & used long extensions. Have posted that tip many times. Esp. for A/C.

There is a pushrod that operates the pump. There is a short bolt (9/16 head, 3/8 threads) that plugs the special hole. The bolt comes in from the ront of the engine, in front of the pump. Remove the bolt, carefully put a longer(perhaps 1.25") bolt snugly in the hole, replace the pump, and reinstall the original "plug".

It won't move if you use the grease technique.
