Do I have to remove the motor mount or can I get the lower front bolt out through that hole?

If this is a supercharged motor which I think it is as you didn't say there is an access hole in side frame rail for it.

First of all< thanks for replying. It's not supercharged, and there are two holes in the motor mount. I got the top bolt out, but am having a hard time with the lower one. I guess I need a special wrench, since there's not much room, and the head of the bolt is recessed in the bottom hole. If its as long as the top one, I'm in trouble. I tried removing the motor mount, but there's a stud coming out of the top of the motor that's in the way.

Is nothing special listed for removal of water pump bolts only on supercharged motors. However they do list the same hole for that in the frame you may have to move a wheel liner out of the way to see it. There is no special wrench listed.
