Removing Power Steering Pump

Anyone ever pull a power steering pump off a TPI engine before? Just looking at it and don't see a obvious way to remove it from the bracket. Car is an 88' Firebird. Didn't find anything on-line that really helped.

nah you don't have to go that far. there are a number of bolts but the hardest ones are on the back of the pump. it can be done with common hand tools. just get a light on it and it will reveal itself
