It's relatively quick & simple to pull the compressor off the bracket, then pull the bracket WITH pump off the engine.

This is a good opportunity to convert to an oil pressure sender, but the owner of this truck wasn't interested in that mod right now. Pay attention to the oil sender wire (crossing the oil filter) so it doesn't get pinched during installation, or misrouted between the timing cover & Sag bracket.

There's no coolant leak - I swapped the gauge sender a few minutes ago.
