Default Help me remove/replace steering rack-what MUST come out?

I am replacing my steering rack and PS pump in my 99. I understand that I can get the rack partially out through the wheel well if this were just a cam install.

Unfortunately the whole rack must come out. What components must come off the engine to get the rack out completely? I seem to remember it comes out from the top on the drivers side.

Who can tell me what needs to come off once the rack is 'free in the car'?

TIA

This should help (the removal is one of the first parts on the maggie install)..
