Accessory Bracket on Driver Side - Need Help Removing
I am having to pull my heads. I got the alternator and AC Compressor off, and I am trying to remove the accessory bracket they were attached to. I have removed the idler pulley to get to the top bolt by the water pump. But I can't seem to find the other bolt/bolts.
Where are they? Anyone have a pic of this, or drawing? I can't really see down there.

So no one was taken off the accessory bracket before?
I am going to work on it again tonight, hopefully can knock this out.
Does anyone have a good picture of the front of the engine with the accessory bracket on? I searched, and found a few, but they were all angled in a way where I couldn't see everything.

you will have to remove the power steering pump as well. to access the other bolt.

It is a 1994 LT1.
I was finally able to remove it. As someone else told me, these cars were designed by engineers, not mechanics.
You have to remove the tensioner pulley, as there is a bolt hidden behind it. Then, you undo the plug wires on the driver side to see the last bolt that is at the bottom of the accessory bracket.
Yes, you have to remove the power steering pump to remove the bracket, but you can leave that till the end once you get to all the bolts that hold the accessory bracket to the block.
Tomorrow, passenger side BS.
