just did this, you have to support the engine, remove the t-axis mount. this involves removing, but not unhooking the ps pump. gain acces to the 2 bolts holding the ps pump on by the holes in the pulley at 12 and 6 oclock.

on the t-axis mount , remove the top 2 bolt, and loosen the side 2. you don't have to remove the side 2, the mount is slotted on the side.

you sure the ps pump has to come off? looks liek you might be able to just turn it'* pulley and get to that bracket bolt thru the hole, ok but basicly, would it be worth using a lift or am i better off with a floor jack and how long did it take you?

just use a floor jack, putting a piece of wood between it and the oil pan. something to distribute the weight.
