    sides with something that will leave NO residue in the holes. I assume you've disconnected the radiator hoses - there's no need to remove the radiator, that stays with the carrier when you swing that to the side (the passenger side). There are a series of wires connected via plug-in connectors right by the power steering pump, you'll want to unplug these (might want to mae a diagram just to make reassembly easier). With these disconnected, you'll be able to swing the carrier to the side. Note: if you have AC, I assume you've already swung the AC condensors over to the side, separate from the radiator assembly, etc. Prop tjem up carefully on a milk crate or somehting like that, out of the way.
    With all this done, you should have wide-open access to the front of the engine - you'll be able to walk right in there and de-tangle the TB.
