Check out the tools section and look for C4 tech tips. I have large hands so I removed the power steering unit and this helped with clearances. I also moved the ASR unit out of the way. Here is an article I wrote that might be good for you to read. I know it's too long. https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=231&TopicID=2

This probably won't help you now but there's an area where the left side wires are all squeezed between the power steering and the accessory bracket. Recently while my bracket was off I did a bit of grinding on it in that area and it made the wires go thru there SO much easier when reassembling my engine. I didn't have to remove that much to make a big difference and it did nothing to compromise the integrity of the bracket.
