Jesus Brynnda, when are you going to learn that if you need any LT1 help, to call me.

There are four bolts total, two that go in the passenger side head, and two that go in the block, see the picture in the link.

You don't have to pull off the pulley to get the pump off, there are little holes in the pulley that allow you to remove the two pws pump mounting bolts. Like I said...ask me for help.

The P/S pulley does not have to come off you should be able to access the bolts through the holes in the pulley
