IAC adjustment, what tool?

I'm trying to do the iac adjustment procedure and I'm having a hell of a time finding the right tool. What do you guys use?

I know its a t20 torx, but there's isn't much room there. The throttle bracket is right behind the screw so I can't get a screwdriver type t20 in there. To top it off, I have the Edelbrock strut tower brace and that happens to cross right in between the screw and the throttle bracket.

Wish I had a picture. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks.

I am not familiar with GTA's but on my Camaro there is no adjustment for the IAC. Its a sensor with a connector and it is screwed into the underside of the throttle body. You adjust it by jumping the ALDL etc. Do you mean the TPS?

He means the minimum air adjustment screw.
Use a T20 bit with either a 1/4" wrench or dogbone, may have to remove the STB to do the adjustment.
