Pump connector disconnected.

The rubber grommet to the rear of the pump. You have to slide it to the rear of the car 1/4" to remove it. I pried on it with the long screwdriver.

Hose connection at front of engine, under throttle body.

Bypass valve removed to gain access to hose clamp.

Clamp slid back and hose removed.

Front end of pump

After looking at rear hose clamp, I decided to remove the Y-pipe. There's no way to get pliers directly on the clamp with it installed.

Looking straight down on rear hose clamp.

Rear hose clamp slid forward.

Rear hose removed

Pump partially removed. Notice the rear hose near the right end of the light.

OK, pump is almost out! THe yellow handled K-mart pliers have been removing clamps for years

Pump oriented like it is installed under the manifold.

Pump laying upside down.

Mounting grommets. You install them in a hole, then push forward 1/4" to lock in place. I'm not sure how I'll get them back in
Recall, I've already removed the rearward rubber piece from the pump.

That's one of the driver's side mounting holes for the rubber grommet. THe top of the pic is the rear of the car.

Nasty!

Best pic of grommet mounting holes.

I didn't want to get under the car so I used my mityvac hand pump to remove coolant from the reservoir. I then removed the after run pump coolant switch and put the small mityvac hose in the hole to remove the remaining coolant. No coolant spilled when I removed the pump The first pic was taken at 11:09 and the last pic at 12:32.
It would've taken me this long to (very carefully) remove the intake manifold. I really didn't want to remove the manifold. When you have something open, there's always a slight chance of dropping something in it and causing you much pain and aggrevation.. I think Hal knows what I'm talking about
