Question ? about powersteering pump removal

Is there any way to remove the power steering pump and bracket without removing the water pump first? I need to remove it, but I'm looking for the easiest way to do it. My guess, the answer is no, but I figured I figured I'd ask. Thanks guys.

I installed mine after putting on the water pump The top left you can just use a 15mm socket and extensions, and the bottom one you can use a short 15mm socket with elbow and extensions to get at. You'll need a 15mm wrench for the bolt on the top right that is stuck behind the fluid resevoir, get ready for a long and slow process getting this one out.

Are you replacing it, or putting on one of those really cool manual steering boxes? They look pretty neat.

JRP, I didn't see where it said anything about removing the power steering pump.

You didn't have to take the pulley off of the pump did you?

Neither...I'm just getting rid of it. It is pretty much a track only car, and that's about the only thing left to take off.
