UIM LIM repair help on parts

Dang just realized I can't get to the back of the engine.

This leads me to two problems haha. How am I going to get my engine mounts back on (will it be hard?)
And two, how the heck to I get back to the rear spark plugs?

Do need a wench to pull the engine forward? I don't have anything to anchor it down to where I parked my dang car.

There seems to be a bar in the rear left of my engine bay, is that my leverage point to pull it forward?
 


Don't be a pansy now, just crawl on the motor and stick your arms back there.

There is plenty of room too get your hands in there to do spark plugs. Or reach around the back on the alternator side to reach them.
 


Have to buy a torx bit or set to get the MAF off.
Question if anyone knows off the top of their head.

For the 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix N/A Series 2.
Is the correct size a t-20 tamper proof torx?
 
if you got a hack saw or a grinder with a thin blade, cut a slot in the two screw heads, use a small flat head screw driver.

or buy a set of security torx bits.
 
Dang 10$ good deal. I'm going to check and see of the local shop has it.
If not, I'm grabbing a saw. Lol

Can anyone clarify if it is indeed t-20 though?
No worries if not.
 


For some reason this wont seal flush on the upper plenum..
Any tips?

Tried switching out grommets multiple times.

take th ebolt out, then wiggle and pull it. once its free dont go pulling it any further then what it take to clear the lim. or the tube can break.
 
EGR heat shield. Alt bracket. Don't know what the thing is on the far right.

Can anyone help me identify bolts and where they go. Apparently I didn't label them well enough.

After this I'm done! Radiator flush and I'l fire her up.
 


Far right is the bracket that goes on the back of the motor. One bolt right by the EGR into the head and another where the LIM has a U shape cut out of it. Enjoy putting that back on now that the UIM is already on....lol you'll see. Use one bolt that fits right and the one you have standing up with the torx in it's head.

Middle bracket should be from right bracket to alt. Use that 10mm silver bolt at the right bracket. Dunno what you did with the alt side bolt.

Going out on a limb here that you don't have the Alt back on yet. This I base that on the far right bolt holds the front of the alt down and fourth bolt from the right which holds the back firewall side of the alt down. Second bolt from right is the lower alt bolt if you were facing it.. it's lower right.


This leaves you with the third bolt from the right.. you missed the back bolt on the alternator bracket, if not..then you missed the one right behind the tensioner pulley.


Lower left bolt.. belongs at the coil pack


4 black nuts.. did you screw down the fuel rail? If not..one holds down the EGR by the TB and ... you are on your own for the other three, I know where they go.. but you just blocked my telepathy.
