Default Air Conditioner Pump bracket

I am trying to change my water pump. I need to remove the air conditioner bracket and can’t figure out what I am missing. I have two bolts out but I think there is still one more. Can anyone help?

It's been a while, but here's a picture of my bracket when I removed it (L98). Maybe use it as a guide...

You've gotta back those four compressor bolts out of of there, too.

Your fuel lines are also gonna need to be disconnected, if you haven't already done it. Replace the o-rings while they're off.

There’s also a coolant line that needs to be removed. It runs from the water pump to heater core and goes through that bracket.

Is that the lower hose on the passenger side? If so, that may be the culprit.

I'm guessing the OP figured it out. Just thought I would add to this if anyone searches for the same issue.

The brace at the bottom, circled in red, has to come off as well.
