Default 86 AC Compressor Removel

Tring to remove the AC compressor on my 86, I removed the two 4 or 5 inch bolts from the bracket and the compressor will move alittle but not much. Any other bolts I need to remove to get it off, all I can see are the two I took off.

On my 85 there is a hidden bolt under the front of the compressor. It has a Torx head and a flat side to clear the pulley. It is a pain to remove and I needed to pry it down and out to clear the pulley.

What Blue said. The bolt screws into the head.
