If you spin the power steering pump pulley, you'll be able to get access to the (2) bolts holding the pump to the bracket. You can leave the pump connected, remove those two bolts and move it out of the way a little. Not sure about the AIR compressor though, it was one of the first things I took off when I bought the car

No problem. If I remember correctly, I left the bracket in place when I removed and reinstalled the heads.

The accessory bracket can stay put, you just need to remove the bolt that holds the bracket to the head.

Thanks guys
Thats what i was hoping. Also is it safe to leave the fuel lines attached to the fuel rail and just lay it out of the way?
