Hey i need to remove my drivers side manifold so i can get the broken studs out and i was wondering what exactly i need to do because it looks like ill have to remove the alternator and the power steering fluid thing to get that bracket out of the way. its on an OBS with a 350 tbi so if you have ever taken the drivers side mani off, you probably had to fight with the bracket that they decided to bolt on to everything within a foot of the manifold. i need to have this done right away so it can be taken to the muffler shop so tips would be greatly apreciated.

use a socket, forget the wrench. I got all mine out with a ratchet and socket. On mine it's different but I could unbolt that bracket which on mine is bars, I could unbolt down low and on the alt.. and remove it, then the PS bracket got unbolted from the manifold and loosened up by the PS pump and swung down out of the way. I just put headers on mine about a month ago so it was fairly recent, and last year I pulled the motor and rebuilt it.
