Default Power Steering Pump **Need Help**

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum here but have done quite a bit of research and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I have a 92 vette and am currently in the process of replacing my power steering pump. I've remove the ac compressor from the bracket as well as the alternator from the bracket to allow for a little more room. I've removed all the brackets and necessary bolts for the pump however this is where I'm completely stumped... How in the world is one supposed to remove the lines to the pump??? There is no room to work a wrench on the bolt... And I have no clue how anyone is supposed to access the lower line thats clamped down, especially with the screw head facing the engine block. Any help/tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

No the pulley is still intact. I plan on removing the pulley once the pump is out. However I'm beginning to think I'd have more room with it off! Anyone ever replace their pump on an lt1 and could shed some light? Thanks
