Default Changing LT1 water pump (optispark) with a Vortech

Has anyone here with a Vortech'd LT1 pulled their waterpump? If so, will the pump come off without taking off the blower bracket?

Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, Vortech or ATI both are required to remove of the blower and bracket in order to get access to the water pump..

It's really not that big of a deal if you ask me, it's hard not to put a blower back in the right way.

Good luck
