need help with water pump removal

[North Maine]

Hey guys, anyone who can give some insight would be most helpful. I have the radiator out, fan off, fan pulley off, and I've removed all but 2 bolts for the water pump/timing cover. The last two are shared with the "accessory" pulley-holder bracket... do I have to take this off including the Alternator, vac pump, ect? or is there a way to remove those last two bolts without pulling the bracket?

Here is a pic of where I'm at right now.

Gotta pull that accessory bracket. I am doing my waterpump this morning but my 95 has a different accessory mount than yours....lose the vac pump while you are at it...live with the SES light on until you get a reflash - I hate doing all that work twice....

dont forget the 2 bolts between the pump and the balancer pulleys.

I got those two bolts... thanks for the input, I did get it off this morning with very little trouble, I was literally 10 minutes from being done when I quit last night. Now the install should be hard. As for the vac pump, I still use my vac for wastegate control, and while I'm putting a new computer in, I think I'll stick with the stock "F" set-up for a while, my next project is to install the "F" intake manifold I have waiting here... and the warpspeed x-over... and... and... and... lol

build/buy a TM vac pump IS a weak link, that is assuming you have the F PCM ready to go in there, you'll have to maintain the vac if still running the S PCM
