Anything engine related on the 3.4 1994 Firebird...I'll tell you that much...
I mean...I'm just putting in the water pump...And the way the engine sits (Like half of it under my dash), I had to take off the Intake system, coil packs, power steering.....etc...
I was on it from 6 to 11 last night..and just got the pump ON...Gotta put the rest of it back together today....Ugh
So my question is......wait..I guess there is no question...Just wanted to complain and say hello to Hammer!

Not sure why you took the intake off on that. The only thing that needed to be removed is the power steering pump. Flat rate on that job is 2.5 hours.

But he did let me drive his '76 Stingray....and..I loved that..

If I remember right, you just put a 10mm socket right through the holes in the pulley to get the power steering pump off.

It was bracketed on to a mounting bracket on the back, and it was a pain to get to....
And also something concerning me...One of the Top Bolts out of the water pump..It was coated pretty heavily in some nasty, hot oil...And that's not good...
