Unhappy Help with MAC header install. STUMPED & NEED HELP

We've removed the engine mount bolts, we've undone the steering column, took out the 6 bolts that hold the K-Member onto the chasis, undone the front sway bar, and the K-Member will not come down. It's loose, but it will not come down all the way. What is holding this thing up? Can someone please help me with this install because I don't have any idea what to do next, there is no clear access to the header bolts. Talk to me guys...

What to do next is put all that crap back together before you get in over your head. The starter and alternator are the only things that need to come out for the macs... Stop take a deep breath and look at the bolt to see the best way to get at it. Unfortunatly most of the passenger ones need to be gotten blind from the bottom. Have a buddy help guide you on from up top. The drivers side is cake. At least the Mac headers are easy to get in the drivers side one practically jumps in by itself from the bottom. The passenger side goes in from the bottom also but it needs a bit more persuation but it isn't too difficult.

EDIT: If you really want to drop the K... You didn't mention taking out the shock tower bolts? Did you do that?
