Yet another vacuum pump removal question

[mblaney]

I have removed them leaving the pulley in place.

You have to loosen one bolt at a time and keep sliding the pump further forward till they all are out

I have done this too but understand that while leaving the pulley in place is doable but a huge PITA. You will end up with the the bottom bolt head rounded off. Spend $20 and buy the puller, that will save you so much time. You will be doing the vacuum pump again in a year or so, so you might as well be equipped to do it right. The little puller should fit fine in front of the fan shrowd. My advice again... buy the cheap puller!
