Default help removing power steering pump

replacing head gaskets and im on to the passenger side. I need to remove the power steering pump/bracket in order to get to the exhaust manifold bolt nearest it as well as to remove the head. I seem to have loosened the pump but can get it off or the bracket. any ideas?

Disconnect the lines that's what's holding it in place

Ive only removed one near the top of it but i think its pivoting on a bottom one. Ive started loosening the bottom one going in from the passenger side but its hard to find in there since I cant actually see it. How many bolts are holding the bracket for the ps pump? If i can just remove it as a whole thats be easier id think.

Well i feel dumb. Apparently you can get at the ps pump through the holes in the pulley...who knew things could go through holes. Didnt even realize they were there.

Ok so I cant seem to get the lower metal line unbolts from the ps pump. What size wrench fit it? 5/8 and 16mm are too big 15mm wont fit. Its going to be a pita to get off i already know that and dont want to round it off.

Unless With it loose I can remove the PS pump bracket from the head then ill just do that
