Remove AC Bracket - (Timing Belt) 94 Ranger 2.3 2wd

My timing belt broke and I am having a very dificult time removing the AC bracket. I need to move the bracket to take the timing belt cover off to replace the broken belt.

I think there are 5 bolts holding the bracket on and I have the 4 easy ones removed. the 5th one is on the bottom of the bracket near the stering system.

I took off the wheel well cover to try and gain better access to the bolt but had no success.

All the manuals I have read simply say "Remove the bolts and move the AC/Bracket and Power Stearing pump aside" with no other information.

I have attached a drawing of where the bolt is (Bolt 13) but the drawing fails to show all the other parts that are in the way.

Thank you for any help you can give,
-Rob

I can take a picture but you won't be able to see the bolt. It's on the other side of the steering shaft.
