Next I started on the wire harness. There's a bolt that holds the main connector together.

Pulled the distributor cap.

Then the cap base. Also the air something or other clip there in the middle, I can't ever remember what that thing is called. It needs to be replaced though.

This hose needs to come off and here's a closer look at that air thing. Also the throttle positioning sensor (part with the red oval thing on the right) gets unplugged.

Then unplug this sensor, can't remember what it's called but it's right behind the distributor on the intake manifold.

Remove these vacuum hoses on the tree back there. Also the single wire there right behind the distributor.

Hose off the fuel regulator.

This sensor harness next.

See how brittle they are, barely touched this one.

vacuum housing on the passenger side.

All vacuum hoses get removed.

Vacuum hoses out.

Removing the throttle cables from the throttle body.

Not sure what exactly this is but it leads to the emissions/smog stuff. That tube comes off.

You can see around the black gasket, there are 4 bolts for the throttle body. Throttle body removed.

Now let's remove the main harness. Starting with the fuel injectors.

There are a few nuts around the intake manifold holding the harness bracket on.

4 nuts from that bracketing.

Deep in the depths, another wire to remove.

Then on the A/C, remove this harness plug.

And boom, harness removed.

This is the neck that holds the thermostat in. Looks pretty bad. That's gonna get replaced.

Next remove these hoses.

Next I worked on the fan shroud and the hard line running along the top. There are two bolts on the top, under the black tabs of the hard line.

Time to remove the fan. There's 4 bolts there.

Next pull the fan shroud

Remove the belts.

To loosen the alt side belt, loosen the bolts for the alt.

She gonnne

Remove the alt brackets.

There's a bolt hiding under there. This is from under the truck, where the alt bracket was but you can't see this behind the smog pump.

I ended up cutting these two hoses off, they'll get replaced.

Smog pump gone.

Pull the fan pulley off, it's loose from when the fan bolts were removed.

Remove the tensioner and I may replace this also.

Start removing the AC pump. Make sure you have your system discharged before you start working on all this. Otherwise you're screwed. Well not really but you know what I mean. 4 bolts to remove this.

Next up is the power steering pump. This is getting replaced as well. I have one, have had it for awhile. This was some aftermarket one, and it's fine, works great but it's loud and whiny as hell sometimes. So that's going, and this is as good a time as any.

Pull these hoses. If you can remove all the fluid you can before doing this, or it's gonna be a huge mess.

out

Lower radiator hose. This was replaced when I removed and did the oil cooler delete mod.

You can see the big mess under there.

Should've taken pics of the water pump removal, but I got wrapped up in the bolts and stuff. All the bolts need replacing.

This is what it looks like under it. Not good. See all that rust. Yuck!

Looks pretty dirty to me.

Time to pull the crank pulley

At this point I decided to pull the front of the truck. I wanted to replace the radiator, ac cooler, transmission cooler, and add a new oil cooler as well. So Why not.

Remove these screws on top of the headlight frames.
