It's beed a while, but the mechanical pump is held in place with 2 bolts I think. It is connected to a banjo fitting by either an 1 1/8 or 1 1/16 bolt(it's been a while) After you unbolt the pump, turn the crank pully with a socket which will push the pump up.

4 18mm bolts from the front and 2 15mm or 18mm (1 on each side). Then unplug your foglights as you lean it forward. It's a 5 minute job tops! It sticks up higher than your crossmember does so if you leave it on, you'll have to raise the motor up higher. I like keeping that heavy azz thing as low as possible to help with the center of gravity.

Actually I think I am good for right now. I bought the basic mm sockets that were mentioned previously and beyond that I will get in touch with Clay for a e new filter, mechanical fuel pump plug, intake boots, and a EGT sensor, I recall it going to 0 instantly during the boom.
Other sensors seemed to work in retrospect.

Do I need a torx bit to remove the fuel bowl and other things from the 01 engine? Right as the front end of the engine on the top side it looks like I might need some sort of torx bit.
Or can I go on without removing that cover?

I wish I would've seen this days ago. So far as the TC bolts go, if you could hook the batteries back up, and have a buddie help you, you can get underneath and loosen whatever bolts you can get to, then have your friend "click" the starter to turn the engine over a bit till you get to the next one, and repeat. A little easier than trying to crank it by hand. Plus. The starter may have a little more torque to force rotation if a rod does start to bind
