Can I remove head w/o removing PS pulley and pump?
I am currently dismantling my engine to change my head & intake gaskets. I have run into a snag. The power steering pump. It requires that I get a puller to remove the pulley. However, is the bracket attached to the head fully? Meaning couldn't I just remove the head and skip removing the PS pulley and pump?

Unbolt the whole bracket and side it over to the side with some support to keep the PS lines from stretching.

The only bolt that I can see that's still holding the bracket on is inside behind the pump. It's a 45 or 50HEX thing. How many bolts hold on the bracket. I believe I have removed 3 so far.
