You bet ya! It is a real trip. Especially if you remove all 5! brackets
that hold the pump in place. Then wait about 4 years and try to put it
back!!!! There are 2 bolts on the front and 2 bolts on the back of the
pump that attach it to 2 mountaing brackets. Then there is a long bolt
on the bottom that is the pivot bolt, and another bolt about 1" towards
the middle of the engine from the outer edge of the pully, and at about
8 oclock relative to the center of the pully.
Let me know what you find out. I haven't replaced mine. I'm hoping the
original one will work OK.

That should work Jeff. However, I beleive all the lines are very
accessable, with the exception of the one in the door if the electric
door solenoid has been replaced with the "Terry Tanner" air solenoid.
