Default Heater Core Removal[SO CLOSE]

Okay guys, 2001 pontiac firebird.

I have everythign removed from the interior, leaving the heater core exposed. I just can't seem to get it to come out? I have taken out every screw I can think of on the inside of the car. Is there one in the engine bay that's holding it in? Anyone have a picture or know where the screw is located?

Thanks!

Yes, there's a bracket that holds the tubes in place. Just unbolt it and it will come out. The bolt is on top of the bracket between the tubes.

I'd like to assume you did, but I can't based on your post - did you disconnect the heater hoses?
