Craig:
The sixth bolt that you're missing is likely the one on the driver's side that's located just behind the inside edge of the power steering pulley. You'll need a universal joint and a 14mm shallow socket to get at it. Also, when you get it loose, you'll need to disconnect the coil wire from the Opti, as well as the heat sensor wire, the two connections to the MAF and probably loosen the clamp that secures the AC accumulator. Getting the old pump out of the space is tricky, getting the new one in challenging. Good luck.
One more thing... if there is ANY doubt about your plug wires, change them now. Doing it later involves nearly all the same work. (learned this the hard way).
