Default Under drive pulley install

I have a 2005 corvette that recently had the bolt in the front of the crankshaft start to back out causing the under drive pulley to come loose. I ordered a 10% power bond pulley and an ARP bolt to fix it. I have been looking through a lot of the supercharger install instructions to find out the best way to get to the pulley. One way that i keep seeing is to loosen the cradle and engine bolts then raise the engine, my question is if there is enough room to get the pulley off and to get the new one back on with this method or if i will have to pull the steering rack. Any other pulley install information would be greatly appreciated.

I'd rather move the rack, that is how everybody I've seen does it

I did mine on my 05 when I did a cam swap. I pulled the steering rack out of the way.

I haven't pulled the rack in a long time. Drop the cradle.

Either method works as Brian and others mentioned, your choice really.
