There is one bolt sort of like a carriage bolt and one stud that hold the bracket to the it to firewall/ steering column it also holds a seal in place.

I just installed side pipe headers and ran into a bracket that interfered with bringing the headers up from the bottom. I is just as you describe. Had a removable bolt on the inboard side of the steering column and the other bolt was attached to the bracket. I just removed the nuts from the interior and replaced when done.

Do you have headers on your 79 and if so, how did you get that one on?
