Jack the car up high enough to work easily under it. Loosen the belt by removing pressure from screw on the top of the bracket. Unclamp all hoses connected directly to the unit. Then take off the 5 screws that hold the unit to the bracket. Wiggle the unit out. Should take about a hour if your taking your time.

No worries mate. I knew that you had just got that Procharged car and didn't have much documentation on the ATI System.

I am trying to do this now.
I am about ready to light this mother on fire and watch it burn!
I have 4 Allen's out but the one on the side closest to driver side is right behind the God damn sway bar.
What the heck do I need to get this piece of shot out to change the f-ing belt????

Are you using a ratchet with an allen socket or a "L" shaped allen key. You DEFINITELY have room to get the last bolt out if you use an allen key instead of a ratchet. But worst comes to worse, just loosen the 2 sway bar brackets to move the sway bar down enough to get the racket on it.

I used the socket a llen for one's I could get at which was 2.
The L shaped allen wrench for the rest but the one closest to the driver side of vehicle. This bolt also was a different size a llen, 8mm to be exact. I ended up going to the hardware store to buy another and used a hack saw to turn it into a stubby L. This was how I got around fu...i mean messing around with the sway bar.

that's weird you had to make a stubby, the regular L shaped Allen worked fine for me on the larger 8mm bolt. I wonder if you're pulley and bracket is speed closer to the motor than mine so you have less room between it and the swaybar.

the only thing I can think of is it is an LS3. That could be a difference. Same j bracket and such.
