Default replacing the plug wires

Hi, I'm new to this forum it's a pleasure to meet you all. I have just bought my first Corvette a 92 LT1 coupe and I have already went through the ordeal of changing all the spark plugs on both sides and the plug wires on the right side but when I got to the left side I could not even see or touch the left side of the distributor. I'm wondering if there is an easier way of getting to the distributor than removing the compressor, power steering pump and generator?

I pulled the front wheels off and the wheel well splash guards. Made the project a whole lot easier.

You lost me on that one
With an L98, why would you mess with anything on the front of the engine, when you're going for the distributor? Isn't yours on the back of the intake manifold, up next to the firewall? Mine sure is.
