Pulling engine?

I think it may be easier to just remove the pump from the engine, same with the AC (if still equipped). That way you're not opening the system, leaking fluid, etc. I, however, have always pulled the pump with the engine. IIRC, I usually remove the line at the pump attached by a banjo bolt and the low pressure return line.

Another helpful hint on pulling these engines (if you don't know already), you can remove a panel behind the glove box, unplug the wiring harness from the ecu, push the wiring harness through the firewall, and pull the engine with the harness still attached.
