Ok, I'm going around snugging up my header bolts. I get all of them except for the passenger side one on the bottom in front right above the AC compressor. I've worked for 2 hours trying to figure out a way to get something on this. Nothing works! I'd like to try and avoid removing the compressor to get to it, b/c it is going to be a pain in the ass to get it back in place with the primaries running right by it. Have any of you got some Ideas? Should I worry about it that much?
BTW this is on a 95 3.4
Thanks for any help.

You could *try* seeing if there is enough A/C line for you to unbolt the A/C compressor with the lines attached, and move it a few inches away just long enough to get a ratchet on that header bolt. Then re-stab the A/C compressor. The key to all it is to be very careful with those lines and put the least amount of pressure on them as possible.

If you don't have a buddy to help you by holding the compressor, support it with something so the lines are not bearing its weight.
